Calls work out of the box on OnePlus 6 running Android 10. GmPRS requires that you configure your phone to use device MAC instead of random MAC in settings for the WiFi network on smartphone. Failing to do so results in "Service option not supported" and failure to connect to GmPRS. The app also still works with Android application-level firewalls such as NetGuard. This allows you to save on data costs.
It's hit and miss. Pivotel Australia tell you to get new battery, get a bigger antenna reset the thraya unit. It's all a CON. Thraya in North Queensland is to unreliable and Pivotel in Brisbane are no help.
Keeps dropping off the WiFi connection. Microphone doesn't work for calls. Please update the thing so we can use it properly
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.
Can't make call on Android 10 device. I can receive sms, request balance, but can't make a call. On Android 9 all works fine. Please update app ASAP.
Does not work on Pixel 6, keeps restarting the app even when wifi connected to SatPhone. Works on Pixel 3
Its useful to hava a satphone on hand but no support for huawei phones ? Hare to accept. Huawei has sold 200millions android phones as of end of 2018. Please consider including huawei in the compatible device list
Poor Android apps. The wifi is connected but the apps doesn't recognize it
Works great with my samsung s9 plus and note 9 great app. Running android 8.1.0
can't download app. onto a telstra t84 android phone.
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.
Doesn't work with Google Pixel 2 XL running Android 8.1.0. The app keep rebooting.
It's working properly with my Samsung s6 edge,so helpful for a seafarer like me👍👍👍
Does not work with Blackberry PRIV running Android 6.01
Needs the ability to enable only selected apps for data and block all others.
Had crashes with the previous version, but the recent one works fine
Can't make any voice calls. Only sms is working. Looks I've been cheated at. The application is buggy.
It works very well on some phones and some versions of Android. When it works it's very good. So far it works on a Motorola Moto X Play (Android 6.0.1), a Google Pixel (Android 9), but not on a OnePlus 6T (Android 9) or a Motorola Moto X Play (Android 7.1.1). The problem is that the app just keeps continuously restarting. I'm seeking technical support from Thuraya about this. Otherwise its great.
