What is a satellite phone?

In today’s world, staying connected is more important than ever. Whether you’re out in the wilderness, traveling abroad, or in an area with poor cell phone coverage, having a reliable means of communication is crucial. This is where satellite phones come in.

A satellite phone, also known as a satphone, is a type of mobile phone that uses satellites to communicate rather than relying on terrestrial cell towers. This means that satellite phones can be used in remote areas where there is no cell phone coverage, such as the middle of the ocean or deep in the mountains.
