Reply With QuoteI think you're confused, you cant roam from a cellular network onto a satellite network unless you have a satellite sleeve made for android or iphones that let you use both.

Does anyone know of any providers that allow roaming on Inmarsat?
Swisscom lists roaming rates but roaming does not work.
Telekom Slovenije also list Inmarsat as a roaming partner but according to the customer care, they don't have roaming agreement with them??!!

I'm not confused. As per this it's available:

I believe Telstra Australia offers it but cannot verify it on their website. I don't mean roaming on satellite network with you cell phone but placing your cell sim into the satellite phone.

Some countries' cellular carriers have SIM-swap roaming with some satellite phone carriers. The most common roaming agreements are with Thuraya. At one time, Telstra had roaming on Iridium for some accounts. I don't know about INMARSAT. Of course, you'd have to have a compatible satellite handset.

Yup...I found that Thuraya has lots of roamng agreements.
But I have Inmarsat phone and looking for one that has roaming with them.

Piranha Mobile lists Globalstar and Thuraya but not INMARSAT. INMARSAT does promote roaming but does not list their partners on this page: https://www.inmarsat.com/partners/inmarsat-roaming/
Edit: Their idea of roaming may have to do with putting a 3G router on the ship and connecting cell customers via satellite, not SIM roaming with an INMARSAT handset.

It is very unclear. When I spoke to Inmarsat support and asked about roaming partners, they gave me names of the re-sellers.
