Thuraya XT Lite

The XT Lite relies on the Thuraya satellite network, which covers most of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. It does not provide coverage in North or South America, so you should check the Thuraya coverage map for your specific destination before traveling.

The device offers up to 6 hours of talk time and 80 hours of standby time on a single charge. For longer expeditions, we recommend carrying a portable power bank, as the battery is sufficient for moderate use but will drain faster if you are frequently searching for a signal.

No, you need a dedicated Thuraya satellite SIM card to access the network. Standard terrestrial SIM cards from your local mobile carrier will not work in this device.

The XT Lite has an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and splashing water. While it is built for challenging environments, it is not fully waterproof or shockproof, so you should still take care to keep it dry and avoid heavy impacts.

The phone supports standard SMS messaging. It is designed for essential communication, so do not expect the data speeds or messaging features you are used to with a modern smartphone.

Yes, the dedicated SOS button is designed for quick access even when the phone is locked. You can program it to send an alert to a pre-defined contact, ensuring you can call for help without navigating through menus during a crisis.
