Satellite networks can reach in areas where mobile networks cannot. The satellite phone is rugged and durable. If you are looking for a satellite phone however, you can’t get it that easily in India. In fact, if you have one, and don’t have explicit authorisation for keeping and using it, you can land into serious legal troubles. The Indian government does not allow anyone to get access to a satellite phone just like that.
