Satphones like these are nothing more than homing beacons for counter-terrorist forces, that is, in the terrorist's perspective. From a counter-terrorist's perspective, satphones can double as cell phones.

Muslim terrorists like using the technology of the west. What they don't understand is that we can use that technology against them.

Second hand Thuraya phones go for about $200, and you can buy air time in advance (calls cost $1-2 a minute).

Really cheap because it was last used by Abdul the Bomber. The NSA is just waiting for the phone to turn back on again so they can give the location to either the CIA or the Air Force.
