Do I need a special plan to use a satellite phone internationally?

Satellite phones have become increasingly popular over the years, especially for those who travel frequently or work in remote areas. They offer a reliable means of communication when traditional cell phone coverage is not available. However, many people are unsure about the requirements for using a satellite phone internationally. Do you need a special plan to use a satellite phone abroad? The answer is yes and no.

Firstly, it is important to understand that satellite phones operate differently from traditional cell phones. They use satellites to transmit signals rather than cell towers. This means that they can work in areas where there is no cell phone coverage, such as remote wilderness areas or at sea.
