About this app

!! IMPORTANT !! Due to legal regulations satellite is only available for people with german residential address. We are obligated to validate this and you can not use satellite without verification.

satellite is an app with its own cell phone number. Independent of your current provider and reachable all over the world. Use satellite in addition to your existing mobile connection or switch completely to satellite. You make phone calls as you know it and can be reached on your mobile number by everyone - whether its friends, family or business-contacts. They don't need satellite for this, just their normal phone.

We developed satellite from scratch and even founded our own telephone company. satellite offers much more than the usual VoIP apps and makes you really independent from the big mobile phone providers.


Features:
- German cell phone number included
- Parallel installation on several devices possible
- Accessible even when the app is not active
- Very good voice quality even with EDGE connection
- Telephone calls via WLAN or mobile data
- Encrypted calls via SRTP and TLS
- 100 minutes of free calls per month to 61 countries in the world including Germany (fixed and mobile networks)

Several hundreds of thousands of users are using satellite. The Press says: "If something is good, then it is simply good" - ComputerBild

"Service and app are convincing - they emphatically demonstrate how easy it is to use additional mobile phone numbers on modern smartphones" - Heise online

The best of mobile and VoIP: the convenience of a mobile number with the flexibility of VoIP. All with its own infrastructure, in which hundreds of thousands of users have been reliably using IP telephony for years. You only need one data connection, whether WLAN or mobile data. And since the cell phone number is independent of the SIM card, you can easily change the provider of the data connection at any time. If that hasn't convinced you yet: The app includes a cute robot and a rocket launch for you!

Ratings and reviews

No chance to sign up Tried to install the app several times, entered my credentials to sign up but I never receive a verification email to proceed. It seems buggy and not trust worthy. As a user it's pretty much frustrating to get stuck, plus it leads to mistrust whether it's just an app, using all the data for potential scam.

I am a german, was in the USA in Washington D.C. and used the satellite app to speak with my parents and some friends for hours. The quality was perfect and everything worked fine just as it does back home in germany. Thumbs up and thank you very much!

Jan. 24 Edited re. New version: Its worse than before. Adress book cannot add names to callers, look and feel is different but not better. No calling history.... support hasnt answered in 2 days now! please rollback this upgrade! Even with the paid version calls are not stable most of the time unfortunately. Calls dont go through, other party hears me only faint or fading in and out. Please keep working on it to make it usable.

What's new

There are the boring updates with 'stability improvements'. Then there are the exciting updates with great new features. And then there are the mysterious updates! Where you don't notice any difference beforehand and wonder, 'What was that good for?' What you don't know is that there are new things in the app that will only be used soon. Now guess what kind of update this is :)
