	About Satellite Phone Service
		Satellite phones are bulkier than regular cell phones, and while in theory their coverage might be close to universal, they usually don't work inside buildings or anywhere that has an obscured view of the sky.
		But because satellite phones have less bandwidth than regular cell phones, you may notice a bit poorer quality sound, and because they are designed to use the absolute minimum amount of satellite time, they lack some of the convenience we've come to expect of regular cell phones.
		Satellite phones are not an alternative to regular cell phones, but are intended as an alternate communication system for when and where cell phones don't work.
