Can one bring commercial satellite communicators into UAE, Saudi Arabia, or Colombia?
Hello fellow FlyerTalkers,
Does anyone know if one can bring commercially available satellite communicators (e.g. Garmin InReach mini) into UAE, Saudi Arabia or Colombia?
i searched the net for information but other than the obvious countries (e.g. Cuba, North Korea, Syria, etc.) I am unable to find specific information on UAE, Saudi Arabia or Colombia.
Thanks in advance.

That’s not what I said. Select an authorized provider for the country then select the device. You are selecting the device without knowing if the service provider is authorized or even has coverage.
A North American satellite provider doesn’t necessarily have coverage in the Middle East or South America. There are satellite providers who do not provide coverage for North America.
