• Cellular networks cover less than 10% of the earth’s landmass, and none of the oceans.
• Satellite Phones have incredibly wide geographical network coverage. This means you can make phone calls even from the most remote regions of the world. You can see details coverage maps on this website.
• Satellite networks are extremely reliable. Unlike cellular networks (especially in 3rd world countries), you can count on them to ALWAYS be available when you need to make a call.
• You can move from one country to another within the satellite coverage area, all the time connecting to the same satellite network. This means you do not have any roaming implications (as in the cellular world).
• Satellite phone calls are surprisingly cheap, hardly twice the price of what a pre-paid cellular call costs in most countries, and there are no incoming call charges (charges to receive calls).
• This also means that using a satellite phone upon your travels, is in most cases significantly cheaper than cellular roaming, and unlike is the case with cellular roaming, you have clear up-front call rates.
• Ashbury SatCom offers free messaging facilities to all our subscribers, whereby colleagues, friends, and family can send (as many as they like) free text messages to your satellite phone, rather than phoning you.
• Your satellite phone number and dialing procedure stays the same regardless of the country you are in, and people dial the same number to reach you regardless of where in the world you are.
• Nowadays satellite phones have become much smaller than their predecessors of some years ago. They are now much more portable and easier to use. They even look just like cell phones.
