I’ve always been aware of satellite phones – those cellphones with large antennas which can place calls from anywhere on the planet (calls need to be made outdoors to connect to the satellite). I’m also aware of how expensive they could get.
Smart has a product called Smart Link that works like a satellite phone. Difference: the handset is a telephone and not a cellular phone. Further, Smart Link uses a disk antenna, a telephone set and another box (like a modem).
The service is packaged for OFWs especially seamen. This allows OFWs in remote areas of the world to make calls to the Philippines.
From a Smart Link poster in the Smart Wireless center in Megamall:
