Comments on satellite for Android

★★★★☆ 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

★★★★★ Maxie Liedicke · Nov 22, 2024

I'm using the app since 2020 and have no problems. I can call my family in Namibia from Germany and Vise versa. I did recommend it 2 friends who also use it now, and they are very happy. Wow now after using Satellite for over 4 years my Home Country were removed from the list. It's very sad because I invited all my friends who also live in Germany to use Satellite, and now we can't make use of it anymore🥺😢

★☆☆☆☆ Sierra Fleming · Jun 5, 2026

In order to finish signing up for an account they require you to verify your physical address in Germany. To which they will then send you a letter via snail mail and when you get that in a few days hopefully then you can confirm your physical address in Germany. However I don't live in Germany, so I guess im not able to use the app which kind of blows.

★★☆☆☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ Christian Gerbig · Aug 1, 2025

Stopped supporting backups.... Also Calls now get missed even though app is allowed running in background.... latest updates broke the app (tested on 5 phones!) Still no sms support (WhatsApp/signal pins)

★★☆☆☆ Danica · Apr 29, 2026

They do not support receiving verification codes via SMS. It would have been nice to know this upfront. This makes the eSim useless for personal use, which it used to support.
