I am in contact with local Thuraya dealer. He will let me try my SIM card in his hand set. I should test it no later than by Friday So I will let you know than. It will be free of charge for me

. On the side of the information to Andy, I don't agree with the his local satellite dealer. Here in Czech Republic, I can use either Eurotel or T-Mobile Czech Republic SIM on Thuraya in Satellite mode, here is the link for Eurotel charges
http://www.eurotel.cz/jnp/en/roaming/opera...orId=327&page=1 and T-Mobile version is in Czech only and they are slightly cheaper that Eurotel. So I wouldn't give the link for this one.
