Basics
Swapping networks
By tapping the
icon, the SAT and GSM SIM cards can be swapped without
physically swapping them in the SIM slots. For example, if you have a Thuraya SIM card
in SIM1 set to SAT, and a Vodafone SIM card in SIM2 set to GSM, you can swap it so that
the Thuraya SIM card is used for GSM services and the Vodafone SIM card is used for SAT
services. This is especially useful if you have just one GSM SIM card and wish to use it
sometimes for GSM services and other times for roaming in satellite mode.
Swapping the SIM cards using this method will require the phone to restart.
Choosing data SIM
By tapping the
icon next to Mobile data, the mobile data can be turned on and off.
Choose whether to use Thuraya GmPRS or terrestrial 4G/3G/2G by tapping on the part
where it says “Mobile data”.
