Item Condition:
This phone has barely been used. It was only kept as an emergency backup related to an offshore job, therefore it sat dormant for many years. Ive fully tested the phone with a sim card (not included) and everything is working as it should. It Only has a slight amount of cosmetic wear due to its age - such as the Rubber headphone jack has deteriorated but is still attached, and a very small amount of paint chipping around the speaker. The phone works very well and connects to the Thuraya network quickly. GPS services work as they should. The original battery no longer holds charge for more than a week due to age, and so the buyer should source their own replacement (This package includes the original battery and a Cameron sino replacement). PLEASE NOTE: BOTH batteries do NOT function to the best of their ability. The original battery has lowered capacity due to age and the cameron sino battery has a battery protection circuit issue.

Reason for selling: I have 2 satellite phones, which is unnessecary for my use. Therefore i am selling my extra one.
