Amazing for calls, especially across countries. Very good signal and voice quality, and good client service. No SMS possible though
★★★★☆Juergen Salrein· Jan 22, 2025
Free calls and being available on a German number. Good product even though the audio is sometimes not so good
★★★★★Aman Sayyad· May 9, 2025
It's very good. Very helpful for talking to family and friends back home when abroad

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.
★☆☆☆☆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. . .

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!!!!

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.
