Satellite cell phones have much better reception quality than the standard cell phone. People who are usually in emergency situation ( fire fighters, army, etc) use these types of phones. A satellite phone would be a good thing to purchase if you are going on a fishing trip in a remote location although they are much more expensive than a standard cell phone.
