|  | | | In a backbreaker drain in Waterloo recently, I decided to test the cellphone I'd brought with me (A friend's, so I don't remember the model...but I don't like to drain without one "just in case", it's a bit more dangerous than simple UE), and it worked absolutely fine. Probably only a few feet under the surface though, so m'eh

| | | | Satellite phones have a LOT less signal margin than cell phones. I am not aware of ANY satellite phone service that will work without a direct line of sight to the sky.
Although cell phone companies will claim that cell phones "aren't designed for use inside buildings," they obviously do usually work there. I have personally tested Iridium and Globalstar satellite phones and was unable to use them from inside even a single-story wood frame house. If I pointed the antenna out of a window, I could sometimes get a call to connect for 15-20 seconds, but then the satellite would go out of "sight" and the call would drop.
If you don't want it known, don't say it on a phone. |
