WHY YOU NEED IT

Sometimes you roam outside of areas that can pick up reception for your phone, and while it is nice to disconnect from that, it is always safe to have a way to communicate in case things go wrong. Safety is paramount when in remote areas and preparation to ensure you are in communications if things go wrong is a must. Use your smartphone in satellite mode when you are outside mobile coverage areas.
