Jorge,
It depends on what you want to know,
Thuraya has a quit difficult (well, I found it difficult) system of scratch cards, prepaid accounts, supersims, online services etc.
I guess if you look into it very deep you can find the things you want (Maybe things changed since I looked into it two years ago, at least their coverage is increased).
But one of the reasons we choosed it :
You can put your own gsm-sim-card into it !!!
It depends on which provider you use and your account-type (no prepaid) but some of the big companies have got a roaming deal with Thuraya.
When we need the satphone I just put my normal gsm-sim-card into it and start calling, sending or recieving sms-messages!!
I even have got my normal phonenumber!!
I have a T-mobile account and they bill the call just as every other call from/to a foreign country.
Very easy, no scrath cards and or units you have to use before the card gets expired etc.
