Why Choose a Satellite Phone?
Satellite phones are more than just a lifeline when cell towers go down — they’re purpose-built to keep you connected in the most demanding environments. Whether you’re coordinating relief efforts after a natural disaster, maintaining contact with field crews in remote oil and gas operations, or checking in with family while trekking through wilderness far from the grid, a sat phone ensures your voice carries through.
They’re relied on by emergency responders during hurricanes and wildfires, by lone workers in forestry and mining, by sailors crossing oceans, and by adventurers exploring deserts, mountains, and polar regions. With dependable coverage, long battery life, and rugged designs, satellite phones are the go-to solution whenever reliable communication is critical, no matter how far off the beaten path you are.
Satellite Phone FAQs
Do satellite phones work everywhere?
Iridium provides truly global coverage, including the poles. Inmarsat provides a near-global service that excludes polar regions. A clear view of the sky helps with signal quality.
Can I use a satellite phone indoors?
You will need to be outside with a clear view of the sky. For vehicles or buildings, consider an external antenna.
What plan options are available?
Choose a prepaid voucher or a sign up to a monthly contract depending on your usage and trip length. Ask about rollover minutes and pooled plans for teams.
Can I rent instead of buying?
Yes. Rentals are cost-effective for occasional use and short projects. We can ship ready to use with airtime preloaded.
