Features
The Global Satellite Telephony service provides a mobile voice connection via satellite with a portable terminal which is similar to a GSM terminal, including voice, mailbox, SMS, e-mail and other added-value features...
The service offers a cost-effective solution because our tariffs are not determined by called or caller location so in certain geographies the prices are very competitive in a “roaming” environment compared to traditional voice solutions.
