You should remember that not all Satellite
phones in the market are programmed to follow identical work culture.
Some Satellite phones function only in certain predetermined geographical
areas and certain others may work anywhere on the globe.
HOW TO GO ABOUT IT?
1. First decide whether you need
a country specific handset or a handset with global access.
2. Then decide which type of satellite phone you require. What
are your options: (1) a handset which offers voice and slow access data,
(2) a handset which ensures a high quality voice reproduction together
with data which are basic in nature, and, (3) a handset that can offer
a very high quality voice along with data which can be accessed in real
good time.

3. There are many services available. You have to decide which
services you need most and which services will be of immense help to
you and your vocation. SMS- Short Messaging Service is the in thing
in cellular phones today. VMS-Voice Mail Service with caller ID, High
Speed Data Services etc are some services that go with some of the handsets.
Paging services, going slowly out of reckoning, is also available. There
are handsets that have inbuilt in wireless capabilities in case if you
use the handset indoors mostly.
4. Size! The size of the handset is very important. For a person
with a fast-forward life-style a small size handset with less weight
will be sine qua non. High-end products are mostly in the size of a
laptop computer and only you can decide whether such a thing can readily
be blended into you daily chores. Constant carrying is not that easy.
5. If you take a handset on rental, ensure from the company that
the insurance part of it is taken care by them - if it is possible!
6. Before buying, or, renting talk to different people who own
different sets with different configurations in order to arrive at the
right brand.
7. Ensure from the company that the domestic calls do not attract
high per minute rates. It should be very low.
If you need a service with data transfer, decide which speed range is
needed for your handset - 9.6 kbps to 28.8 kbps is presently available.
