Apps
Access your apps while you’re on the move – Social Media, Instant Messaging, information apps and many more.

Simply connect your smartphone via Wi-Fi to the satellite unit and stay connected. The sound is now routed through the smartphone, resulting in even better sound quality.

Enhanced Safety Features
SatSleeve+ comes equipped with an SOS call button that works even if the smartphone isn’t connected. The SOS button will make an outgoing call to a predefined number set by the user or receive an incoming call.
A World of Choices
Thuraya’s reliable and uninterrupted satellite network enables you to stay connected via satellite mode anywhere under its coverage area across Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Thuraya SatSleeve+ works either with a Thuraya SIM card or with a GSM SIM card from any of the 360+ Thuraya roaming partners worldwide.
Universal Adaptor
SatSleeve+ comes with a universal adaptor in the package that allows you to switch between various Android and iPhone phone models between 58 and 85mm in width.
Built-in compression
To increase the speed when loading websites, the SatSleeve+ can be used with 3 different access points (APNs). Select either high compression (no images will be downloaded for fastest website loading), low compression (images will be compressed), or no compression (full website content will be loaded). Depending on your requirements, select the most suitable APN in the GmPRS settings on your Thuraya SatSleeve+.

Note: Even though officially from Apple, the SatSleeve+ / Hotspot app is only compatible with the iOS versions listed above, some users have mentioned that a workaround might work for older versions of iOS:
If you’ve previously installed the app on your phone, you’ll find it in your device’s App Store under the Purchased tab.
If you’ve never previously installed, or you’re using a new Apple account, just go to the App Store in iTunes on or computer and download SatSleeve+ / Hotspot. It doesn’t matter what version that is; you just need to have the SatSleeve+ / Hotspot app as a “Purchased” app on your Apple account.
Now you can go back to the Purchased tab on your device, and you should find SatSleeve+ / Hotspot there. Hit that Install button and you should be offered the option to download a previous version.
