Cell phones receive their signal from land-based antennas which are located in populated areas. They work in most cities in the world but the signal strength will weaken as you travel to more remote areas. Satellite phones receive their signal from satellites that are orbiting the earth. Satellite phones for voice and data. Where GSM or cell phone coverage is not available, or in areas where coverage may be limited, a satellite phone will help keep you connected to work, family and friends.
Taking a cruise?
Your cell phone may work while your ship is at port, but it will not work while at sea. If you need to make and receive calls while your ship is at sea, you will require a satellite phone. Please visit the satellite section of our website for rental and pricing information. Whether you are traveling, on a cruise or in the mountains… TravelComm makes satellite phone rental easy and convenient.
If your travels take you to places others fear to tread—mountain climbing, on safari, the open ocean or to any remote location—an Iridium satellite phone rental is the solution. Iridium, the world’s most reliable satellite phone network, provides coverage where other phones can’t.
