BSNL satellite phone launched, will work without SIM network: SOS support for emergency, government approval required for purchase; Price ₹1.34 lakh

Government telecom company BSNL has launched a new satellite phone in India. Its price including tax has been kept at Rs 1,34,166. It is completely different from a regular smartphone, which works directly with the help of satellite instead of without SIM and network.

The biggest feature of the phone is that it allows making voice calls without any interruption even in network-less and off-grid areas, whereas commonly used phones work with the help of the nearest mobile tower.

The benefit of this phone will work even in those remote areas where mobile networks are not accessible. This will make it easier to maintain contact with people in disaster or emergency situations, but government approval will have to be taken to purchase it.
