When a subscriber is using a GSM SIM in a Thuraya phone, the phone acts like a normal GSM phone with your same GSM number. If your GSM operator has a roaming agreement with Thuraya, you will be able to roam into Thuraya and make satellite calls. In this case, you will receive your regular GSM monthly bill with roaming charges stating usage in Thuraya territory.
