Home \| Computers-and-technology Satellite Phones - Who Needs One? By: Sebastian Romero Who needs a Satellite phone? Anyone who needs to use a phone on a ship, in the middle of the ocean needs a satellite phone. Anyone who needs telephone contact in wilderness areas like the desert or mountains needs a satellite phone. Anyone who needs constant telephone contact while driving across the country where there are vast rural areas with no cell phone signal needs a satellite phone. A satellite phone costs a lot more to buy and the rate per minute is much higher than conventional cell phones, but there are many situations where the extra cost and inconvenience are worthwhile. Mobile Phones need a phone mast to have a signal. There are many parts of the world, including USA, Canada, Australia and Europe where no phone masts exist. The lack of masts may be because the population is too widely spread to make economic sense providing coverage, or it may be because planning restrictions are in place to protect areas of outstanding natural beauty. Satellite phones work by using a signal bounced off one of a series of communication satellites hundreds of miles above the surface of the Earth. The phone must generate a strong enough signal to reach the satellite. This is one reason why satellite phones are larger than the tiny mobile cell phones that you can carry around in your shirt pocket. There are several types of satellite phone available and you need to research carefully into charges, coverage and other costs. Sometimes it may make sense for a company to buy a few satellite phones so that its executives and sales force are always in touch with company head office. It is more common for individuals to rent satellite phones than to buy them. Short-term rentals are available and this makes more sense economically than buying one, especially if you are planning an adventure or wilderness vacation.
