Satellite Phone Rentals


Satellite phone are recommended for use in remote situations where wireless service is undeveloped; such as mountains, deserts, national parks, and in unpopulated areas.

Satellite phones always require line of sight vision to the sky. This means they must be used outside or in a window without obstructions such as trees, buildings, drapes, or window coatings designed to limit sunlight.

Satellite Phone Rentals are recommended for short-term travel situations. If you go overseas more than twice a year, you might want to own a satellite phone with service and your own international number.
