Satellite phones have come of age and are being used by many people worldwide. Whether you are in Iraq or Afghanistan, indoor or outdoor, satellite phones can be used to communicate. Though the call rates are high, you can communicate and stay in touch. Whether you are in the hilly mountains of Himalayas or on a cruise liner, you can definitely get your calls and stay in touch always. This is one of the main factors of satellite phones. The size of satellite phones is an issue as they are a little heavier and big in size compared to mobile phones. Satellite phones are a great mode of communication in various terrains such as mountains, deserts and in sea.

Clarity of Voice: The clarity at the receiver's end depends upon the weather and other conditions such as being indoors or outdoors. The signal sometimes may be in low frequency and the quality of calls may not be that good. Though there has been improvement in the transmission, still there are many limitations while using satellite phones. If the signal is good then the clarity of voice is also very good. Satellite phones are portable and can be carried in your briefcase etc.
