The most common applications for Satellite Phones are:

• Emergencies: Should land-based networks fail in a natural disaster etc., satellite phones are an excellent option for backup communication.
• International Travel: Satellite phones are often more reliable, affordable and convenient than using a cell phone in foreign countries.
• Poor Reception in the US: Many rural areas have little or no cellular signal. GlobalStar phones will work anywhere in the continental US where you can see the sky.
• Traveling at Sea: Satellite phones are usually the only communication option on boats when cellular and radio-based methods are out of range.
