Thuraya has signed roaming agreements with many GSM operators in three continents and is in the process of finalising others.

Roaming partnerships allow cellular subscribers to use their mobile phones in a GSM service area where their home GSM operator has a roaming agreement. This contributes to the geographical expansion of  the service coverage area of GSM networks, providing greater movement flexibility for GSM subscribers travelling across borders.

Partnerships with Thuraya make it possible for GSM subscribers to have access to the latest mobile satellite technology. These users can access Thuraya network in the whole Thuraya footprint area in and out of their home countries and wherever GSM coverage lapses. Meanwhile, Thuraya subscribers can roam within any Live Roaming Partner GSM Network according to their preference or when they are out of Thuraya satellite coverage reach.
