I went to Electric Bug last Monday and signed up for a Thuraya sat sleeve sim card. Luke was incredibly helpful....I could not get it working over the day or so. I took it back to Electric Bug today, Thursday and again Luke was incredibly helpful, he sorted me out and got it going. I highly recommend Luke!!!..Thanks to Luke and his Boss!
