Imagine making a phone call from a remote mountain, offshore installation or disaster-hit region where mobile towers are unavailable or damaged.
That is what BSNL’s satellite phone service is designed to enable.
BSNL advertised the handset on July 9 at ₹1,34,166, including taxes.
The device shown appears to be Inmarsat’s IsatPhone 2, although BSNL has not formally confirmed the model name.
It is a rugged satellite handset built for specialised communication rather than everyday smartphone use.
