When cellphone networks fail, satellite phones keep you connected. Whether you're operating in remote mining sites, managing security teams across rural Africa, running a farm beyond GSM coverage, or heading into the wilderness, a satellite phone is the only communication device that works everywhere on earth — no towers, no infrastructure, no dead zones.

​

SatComms has been South Africa's authorised reseller of Iridium, Inmarsat, and Thuraya satellite phones since 2002. Every handset we sell is ICASA-approved for use in South Africa, and every purchase includes our free annual satellite phone health check — because your device needs to work the first time you reach for it, not almost work.

​

Not sure which satellite phone is right for you? Iridium offers true global pole-to-pole coverage and is the choice for expeditions and offshore operations. Inmarsat's Isatphone 2 delivers exceptional call quality across Africa at a lower cost per minute. Thuraya is ideal for budget-conscious buyers who need reliable African and Middle Eastern coverage.
