“A very satisfied satellite phone purchaser!”

Christine L.
2/21/24

I first heard about satellite phones from Mike Adams aka "the health ranger." I have been putting this purchase off for a couple of years and after what happened in Maui decided to pull the trigger. I called and spoke with Alvin who was very professional. He patiently went over the phone options and costs and answered all my questions. He convinced me I could obtain these phones within my budget. It was the best investment I have made in a while! I have a strong feeling that these phones will not only help me and my husband, but our neighbors as well!

“Beware trying to suspend service”

Jim B.
2/13/24

I notified them to suspend service on my month to month contract. They acknowledged the call log and request but continued to bill me saying I didn't conform to their suspense policy. They apologized for their "communication error" not inform me to also email a request but still won't reverse their billing. A low class company, and often a sign in financial trouble.

I was impressed with the compact useful packaging, I may have over bought service for a backup device, time will tell, though. I've not delved into use, yet.

i think I'm missing something, my coworkers sat phones get service but mine won't. Over all tho my experience has been good usually quick with customer service answers, very good price. Although I purchased my phone at the end of the month, and they charged me for service even tho I didn't get the phone until the 6th of the next month, for someone on a budget that was hard. Can't complain I guess, life isn't perfect

The refundable deposit was mentioned but not spelled out in the checkout so it was a little confusing.

Could be just a bit more clear and explicit with regard to what is included in any given package. Spell it out. People expect that. Had to do a lot of review and use of the back button.

Website needs to be more interactive especially describing rental plans and differences in sat phones for Alaska.

It's not clear what equipment comes with the rental. I didn't see whether extra battery or charging cables are included.

straight forward interface and easy to follow instrucitons. I would like to see the return date change to a 'date shipped back' rather than day returned to store. this especially would be helpful when choosing your automated return option, so one doesn't have to figure out how long your default shipping speed is.

Phone cale timely with all overseas adapters and was easy to register to the network. Only issue was small crack found on phone where antenna housing is. Not causing any malfunction though.

A bit frustrating the surcharges/fees aren't clearly explained at checkout. It's an unwelcomed surprise. Now I'm sure I have to also pay for setup etc. or is that surcharge a part of that or simply a credit card fee?

Providing a per minute airtime plan would be preferable than having to select the cheapest one for $55. I only plan on using the phone for emergencies so a "no minutes" plan would make it even better.

There was a mistake with me order because of a misunderstanding, Callie got a hold of me and helped me through it. I ended up returning the product i initially bought and she helped me get a unit better suited to my needs. Both her and Barry took exceptional care of me and they both went out of their way to get me taken care of. I thank you both

I appreciated the sales rep calling to confirm my rental details, as they needed some adjustment. I received my phone on schedule and as expected.
