Thuraya yesterday announced the Satsleeve---a case that connect your iPhone 4 or 4S to Thuraya's satelite network. With the Satsleeve, you can make and receive voice calls anywhere in the world. You can send text messages too.
During the announcement, the mobile satelite operator did not show us any physical Satsleeve. But, was able to us what the case look like(picture above).
How does it work?
It works in two ways. First, you insert the iPhone into the case and then slip the 'sleeve' on the back. Before you do that, it is imperative for you to download the app from the Thuraya App store. This is so because the app let's you know how to program the emergency button on the back of case. Your iPhone connect to 'Sleeve' via bluetooth.
Price of the Thuraya Satsleeve starts at $499 and will be available next month. For now, Satsleeve does not support iPhone 5.
