I have been using this for almost three years on my Samsung S20, and Poco X4. It connects to the Wi-Fi signal of the Sat sleeve hot-spot in a few seconds. For the sake of clarity this can not morph an ordinary cellphone into a free Sitcom device (if only!), but it enables you to place the Sitcom hot-spot in good Thuraya coverage, and use the connected cellphone inside the building within Wi-Fi range. Wonderful app, device, and Sitcom network, but as all sat networks, calls & SMS are expensive.
★★★★★
Calls work out of the box on OnePlus 6 running Android 10. GPRS requires that you configure your phone to use device MAC instead of random MAC in settings for the Wi-Fi network on smartphone. Failing to do so results in "Service option not supported" and failure to connect to GPRS. The app also still works with Android application-level firewalls such as Net Guard. This allows you to save on data costs.
★★☆☆☆
Does not work on Pixel 6, keeps restarting the app even when Wi-Fi connected to Sat Phone. Works on Pixel 3
★★☆☆☆
Audio porting to smartphone is bad. I can hear other party, but other party does not here me. Audio is ok on the SOS call, however.
★★☆☆☆
Does not work with the most recent android iteration. The firmware for the sat sleeve needs updating. Company support was no help at all. Do not purchase a Thuraya sat sleeve device if your android phone has the latest updates.
★★☆☆☆
It's useful to hava a sat phone on hand but no support for huawei phones ? Hare to accept. Huawei has sold 200 millions android phones as of end of 2018. Please consider including huawei in the compatible device list
★★☆☆☆
While the app appears to work on Galaxy S4 running Android 5 only Emergency calls are allowed and no access to GMPRS services given. Not sure if this is an app problem or satellite access problem. Any suggestions pls? I am wanting to head out to sea for blue water sailing and need Thuraya Hotspot to work ASAP.
