Unlike traditional cell phones that rely on cell towers, satellite phones work
anywhere on earth. Once you leave the city, satellite networks are the only networks
offering reliable communication. For this reason, we have satellite phones that work
anywhere, even in the most remote areas of the world. They offer reliable Voice, Text,
GPS, and SOS and do an excellent job keeping you connected anywhere at sea, on
expeditions, long hikes, remote job sites, mountains, deserts and even during a
natural disaster.
We can deliver a satellite phone to you as fast as the next day if major shipping
companies offer that service to your area. In critical and emergency situations we can
often deliver the device to you the same day via courier.
Rollover is an option to roll the unused minutes from this month to the next one and
accumulate your unused airtime for later use. This option costs $10 per month.
Satellite phones use international phone numbers and most cellphone users don't have

service plans and costs $10 per month.

etc.
Satellite phones work everywhere with a clear view of the sky. Because they work
through satellites positioned high in Earths orbit they need unobstructed view to

vertically towards the sky - compared to cellphones where the signal travels
horizontally towards the cellphone towers and through this transmission it can be
intercepted and decrypted.

GEOS 911 services are contacted and your GPS coordinates are sent out. GEOS will
attempt to call you immediately to coordinate a rescue mission to your location.
