The satellite application allows users to make and receive calls using satellite technology, in conjunction with their existing mobile connections. This means that you can communicate with anyone who is also using satellite technology, such as friends, family, or business contacts, without any interruptions. The application has garnered a significant user base, with several hundreds of thousands enjoying its benefits. The development team created satellite from the ground up and even established their own telephone company to provide this service, ensuring users can expect more than just standard VoIP features, granting them greater independence.
One of the notable aspects of the satellite application is its extensive feature set that enhances user experience. Users can install the app on multiple devices simultaneously, ensuring accessibility even when the app is not actively in use. The voice quality remains high, even when using lower bandwidth connections like EDGE. The app also allows for calls over both WLAN and mobile data, prioritizing security through encrypted calls using SRTP and TLS protocols. Additionally, users can benefit from innovative features such as AI-generated summaries of calls and a smart inbox designed to facilitate productive and collaborative call management.
For those looking for more extensive calling capabilities, the satellite app offers an in-app purchase option called Flatrate+. This subscription enables unlimited calls to mobile and fixed networks in 60 countries worldwide, in addition to providing regular updates and enhancements to existing core functions. Users can customize their voicemail greetings, set up multi-level profiles for managing their reachability, and personalize ringtones, voicemail greetings, and call notifications based on their current situation. This flexibility makes it easier to manage various aspects of communication efficiently.
The Flatrate+ subscription costs €4.99 per month and is managed through the user’s iTunes account. The subscription automatically renews a day before the end of each month, although users can cancel at any time through the App Store or their iPhone's settings. It is important to note that if cancellation occurs less than 24 hours before the renewal date, the subscription will still renew for one last charge. Should the subscription end, users will automatically revert to the free version of satellite, retaining their settings and data. For more information, users can refer to the terms and conditions provided on the application's website.
