A satellite phone provides better services and a higher coverage area. A satellite phone can offer coverage that includes the entire earth.
Yes, anyone can get a satellite phone. If you only need the phone for a short time, you can also rent. many places have service plans, or renting plans. Here is a website that sells and rents. www.satellitephone.com
A satellite phone can be used practically anywhere. It does not require a cellphone tower, but instead a satellite, which are available all over the world. A satellite phone works in Antarctica, so you would probably be able to use it wherever you need to go.
A mobile (cell) phone would work well if you're staying in your own country. If you mean a phone that can be used absolutely anywhere - you would likely need a satellite phone. A satellite phone is similar to a mobile (cell) phone - but it communicates directly with satellites rather than a mobile phone network.

If you have a satellite phone, you shouldn't need a new simcard. However if your phone does need a sim to work and isn't connected by satellite you will need a simcard. They don't cost much. Usually about $30AUD for a pre paid, so that's about $26 approx. US dollars. They come with credit so it should be ready to go once you put it in your phone
No, not all phones work everywhere in the world. For an "everywhere" phone i believe you would need a satellite phone.
In coastal areas the cell phone towers on land may cover some distance out to sea, and a normal cell phone may work.Out in the open sea, you would need a satellite or radio phone.
yes....every phone needs a sim card because you would not be able to call anyone or text anyone if you diddnt
it is not required to view sat tv, but in order to order pay per view programs it is as it is through the phone line that this "order" is sent. It is also required if you wish the caller ID to work on your TV.
Satellite phones are powerful portable phones which communicate directly with a satellite, eliminating the need for a cell tower. Satellite phones are extremely useful in areas that are desolate, like the desert or at sea where phone signals from towers will not reach.
A satellite phone is usually issued with its own country code. You simply need to have international calling available on your mobile and dial the country code for the sat phone and then the number as normal. Sat phone country codes are in the range +870 through +874.
In the beginning, yes they needed phone lines. These days I believe you can also do credit transactions using DSL, Cable and Satellite.
