How do I make a satellite phone call?

Pivotel satellite phones are equipped with a unique feature that sets them apart from ordinary cell phones - they come with a truly local number that functions just like your regular cell phone. This means that you can effortlessly make and receive calls and text messages, even in remote areas where cellular coverage may be scarce.

However, it's important to note that satellite phones operate differently from cell phones. Unlike cell phones that can be used indoors, satellite phones require an outdoor setting with the antenna positioned upright and an unobstructed view of the sky. This allows the phone to establish a strong connection with the satellite network and ensure reliable communication.

To understand the specific guidelines and requirements for using your Pivotel satellite phone, it is recommended to refer to the user manual that accompanies your device. This comprehensive guide will provide detailed instructions on how to properly set up and utilize your satellite phone, ensuring you make the most of its capabilities in any location.

By following these instructions and guidelines, you can enjoy seamless communication with your Pivotel satellite phone, regardless of your location. Whether you're exploring remote areas, embarking on outdoor adventures, or working in areas with limited cellular coverage, your satellite phone will keep you connected to the world, providing a lifeline in times of need.
