Satellite Phones – Know the Limits
It’s important to know the limitations of before you buy a satellite phone. Though this technology is very good, and very reliable, some important points to bear in mind:
- They transmit to satellites that are either traveling at 26,000kph or are over 35,000km away.
- If they cannot see the satellite they don’t work. i.e. they do not work inside a house, car or caravan.
- The three different satellite systems available in Australia all have their good points and not-so-good points, there will always be a compromise when choosing, including the buy price, call plan, reception and features.
- The call quality is variable; if you fully understand how to use your particular handset it will make a huge difference. Don’t expect to have a service similar to your mobile. EPIRBhire goes to great lengths to teach our clients how to get the best out of each handset.
- Calls are not that expensive – there are many different call plan options.
