Amazing for calls, especially across countries. Very good signal and voice quality, and good client service. No SMS possible though
★★★★☆Shuo Liang Lin· Sep 24, 2026
I am using the free version. It does provide free calling from virtually every WLAN to many countries. Works very well. I only give 4 stars because of missing SMS functionality, and because one of the missing countries is important to me.
★★★★★Peter E. Fischer· Aug 25, 2025
Wow, did my first outgoing call just now. Great quality of signal, like landline. And I like the free minutes to save on some special calls (i.e. mobile calls into another country). Thanks for this great app and service, keep the good work going! ❤️ I miss SMS and number blocking, tnx!

Does not work, strange error messages. Sip gate delivers bad quality last years
★☆☆☆☆armsby· Jul 28, 2026
Great idea! It fills a gap, but the 100 minutes got used even though calling another Satellite user! (AI states: "Calls made from one Satellite app user to another Satellite user (internal calls) are completely free and do not deduct from your 100 monthly free minutes. This policy has not changed as of mid-2026.) So it's a current malfunction? The name SATELLITE couldn't be more stupid and misleading! The company would be RICH by now if they'd changed the name to something suitable. . .
★☆☆☆☆M· Aug 15, 2026
Please verify on the app, that it's for Germany only!!!! It's a waste of my time, after installation, realize it's only for use in Germany!!!!
★☆☆☆☆armsby· Jan 5, 2026
Needs a new name as it is not a satellite nor does it use one. Good idea, fills a gap, but only works with wlan or a data sim. The name itself couldn't be more stupid and misleading! I hope they change it soon.
★★☆☆☆Bri R· Oct 6, 2025
Used and loved sipgate.co.uk, now they force satellite on you, you have to wait on a letter to a German address only, making this for Germans only, both of these limitations are not made clear early in the process. My money goes elsewhere

Trust & Safety: The app requests a broad permission set typical for a VoIP/communication app (e.g., RECORD_AUDIO, READ_CONTACTS, READ_PHONE_STATE, INTERNET, NOTIFICATIONS, WAKE_LOCK). It offers encrypted calls via SRTP and TLS. A notable regulatory note in the long description states that access is limited to users with a German residential address, indicating compliance with regional requirements and potential access restrictions for non-German users.
