Satellite Phone System

A satellite phone system may be the solution to the freedom you are seeking. A satellite telephone system allows you to communicate practically anywhere in the world, without regard to country boundaries or variations in terrain. You can be on Mt Everest, in rural China, on an African safari, and you will still have the ability to communicate by mobile phone.

Satellite phone systems operate with satellite mobile phones that communicate via satellite orbiting the earth. Depending on the satellite system, a satellite cell phone system may cover specific regions or the entire globe. It is still a very expensive telephone system to use, so I would suggest that if you're going to spend that much money, use a satellite cell phone system that covers as much of the globe as possible.

There are many types of satellite telephones. Here are a few:

• Iridium satellite telephones: (Iridium.com) These phones use a series of 66 low-earth orbiting, cross-linked satellites to relay telephone calls from anywhere in the world as long as you have a direct line of sight from the handset to the sky. Generally, calls from iridium phones to landlines costs about $1.50 a minute. The reverse, landlines to iridium phones costs $2 to $4 a minute, and iridium phone to iridium phone costs less than $1 a minute.
• Globalstar satellite phone: (Globalstar.com) Globalstar has a handheld satellite telephone and two stationary satellite telephones. The Globalstar GSP 1600 Handheld satellite cell phone sells for $749.00. It allows customers the same flexibility of a cell phone, but switches from terrestrial cellular telephony to satellite telephony when needed. The GSP-2900 stationary phone costs $2,495.00 while the FAU 200 costs $625.
