About this app

!! IMPORTANT !! Due to legal regulations satellite is only available for people with german residential address. We are obligated to validate this and you can not use satellite without verification.

satellite is an app with its own cell phone number. Independent of your current provider and reachable all over the world. Use satellite in addition to your existing mobile connection or switch completely to satellite. You make phone calls as you know it and can be reached on your mobile number by everyone - whether its friends, family or business-contacts. They don't need satellite for this, just their normal phone.

We developed satellite from scratch and even founded our own telephone company. satellite offers much more than the usual VoIP apps and makes you really independent from the big mobile phone providers.

Several hundreds of thousands of users are using satellite. The Press says: "If something is good, then it is simply good" - ComputerBild

"Service and app are convincing - they emphatically demonstrate how easy it is to use additional mobile phone numbers on modern smartphones" - Heise online

The best of mobile and VoIP: the convenience of a mobile number with the flexibility of VoIP. All with its own infrastructure, in which hundreds of thousands of users have been reliably using IP telephony for years. You only need one data connection, whether WLAN or mobile data.
