FAQ

If you're planning on taking a hike this year, a Satellite Phone may be the perfect tool. Cell phones don't work very well out of cell tower range, so a Satellite Phone is your best bet for staying in touch with loved ones. There's nothing more dangerous than being stranded in a remote location and needing to call for help.

The Iridium 9575 Extreme and the Inmarsat Isatphone 2 are both excellent choices for hikers. They are rugged, easy to use and compatible with both satellite and GSM networks. They feature user-friendly interfaces, and can be used to make and receive calls..
When shopping for a satellite phone, remember to consider the size and weight. Backpackers should choose a device that is lightweight and compact. This will allow them to easily store it in their backpack and carry it with them at all times. If you're on a hiking trip with family and friends and need to stay in touch, you'll be glad you have a satellite phone on your hike.
