Things to Remember About Satellite Phones

When it comes to purchasing a satellite phone, it is important to remember that they operate differently to everyday smartphones, and may not work in any one location. Some satellite phones have global coverage, however, it is important to check the network's coverage beforehand so you know which regions get the best reception. The more advanced models come with integrated tracking functions and SOS abilities for emergencies, so you will need to decide whether aspects like this are necessary for your trip before departure. Finally, if you want to make more than just voice calls while you are away, you should choose a satellite phone that comes with the ability to send basic data packages such as emails, which some of our handsets do.
