If Hop roams on Thuraya at regular Hop rates (35c/min incoming, 95 c/min +20 setup fee outgoing) it would be a pretty good offer. But I wonder why calls from Hop to satellite phones are charged at $6/min and Thuraya is not excluded from that horrible rate? Do they prefer simplicity of rates so much :P? $6 seems to be rate appropriate rather for the most expensive version of Inmarsat, not for Thuraya
