Phones:
A Satellite Phone is Now Affordable
and Gives you Options
Sattelite phone
technology has come a long way in the new millenium. As popular
as cell phones are now, most of us remember when cell phones were
a real luxury item. As the prices came down, the signal quality
also got better to the point now where many people have gotten rid
of their "land line" phones, and go solely with their
cellular phones. Who's to say that this won't happen with sattelite
phones? Right now, having a satellite phone seems like a luxury
item.
But look at
a company like Globalstar. Globalstar is the premier sattelite phone
provider, with 48 satellites orbiting. Right now, you can get rates
as low as $.17 to $.99/minute. And they also have the option of
going through cellular towers instead of satellites - meaning their
sattelite phones are dual mode - cellular and sattelite. This makes
minutes even more affordable.
Remember, sattelite
phones can be used anywhere in the world, even in the middle of
a mountain range or an ocean. And the digital call quality is excellent.
So who is to say that the rates won't continue to come down as more
competition enters, as what happened with cellular?
