Only a couple of decades ago, we understood and accepted that for 'ordinary people', phone service required a physical phone line and was therefore limited to obvious places like home, office, and payphones.
Now with the explosive growth of cell phones, we realize that phone service is not restricted to where there's a phone wire. But there's still a lot of the planet - 85% - that isn't conveniently close to a mobile phone transmitting tower and so there's no regular phone signal.
Satellite phones can provide the ultimate in global coverage. But there are trade-offs. Satellite phones are bulkier than regular cell phones, and while in theory their coverage might be close to universal, they usually don't work inside buildings or anywhere that has an obscured view of the sky.
Satellite phones are also considerably more expensive to purchase, and their airtime rates are also higher.
But, if you absolutely need a convenient and portable way of keeping in contact, they are the only option available.
How is Satellite Phone Service different to normal cell phone service?
Wireless phone services have much in common, whether they are using satellites or transmitting towers.
They are both using radio waves rather than land lines to send their signal. But because satellite phones have less bandwidth than regular cell phones, you may notice a bit poorer quality sound, and because they are designed to use the absolute minimum amount of satellite time, they lack some of the convenience we've come to expect of regular cell phones.
For sure, no-one would ever prefer to use a satellite phone instead of a modern cell phone, but equally for sure, when you're out of regular cell phone service, a satellite phone suddenly becomes a very good alternative.
Surprisingly (perhaps) there are already a fairly broad range of different satellite phone services available, some of which date back 25 years or more.
