Digital Satellite System Increases Mobile Phone Coverage
By G L Harris
Digital satellite system has helped to increase the
mobile phone coverage in many areas, especially in urban
and even remote areas. If you live outside the concrete
jungle, then mobile coverage may not be available unless
you can access the digital satellite system.
I like to live near trees, far away from the noise
of the big city. If I move around in my car, the only
phone service I can use or be reached, is with the digital
satellite service.
Mobile Phones Are Omnipresent
It seems that there are very few places where you can
go today, where you do not see people with mobile phones.
The first mobile phones were huge and you had to have
the bag to put them in and a charging schedule that
took an engineering degree to understand.
Today the phones are so small that people can wear
them in their ears or stick them in any size pocket.
Charging them is as simple as putting a cord into an
outlet. Today you can not only use your phone to talk,
you can send a text message, take pictures and be connected
to the internet. On the newer models, you can watch
television programming.
Lack Of Mobile Phone Coverage
My wife and I were feeling out of the loop, when it
came to mobile phone use. No matter which company we
would talk to the area where we lived had a white no
service circle by it. We live on the south shores of
a very large lake. The town to the north of us that
has a large transmitter did not cover us and the town
to the north of us the transmitter was blocked by a
huge hill.
We could use or phone away from our house, but we could
not use them in the house or in our yard. Then one company
installed a digital satellite system on the water tower
of the town ten miles east of our house. This is a vast
improvement. With the digital satellite system we are
able to use our telephone where ever we want. We are
now able to review our options and participate in many
of the great free long distance plans that many of the
companies offer.
Reduced Call Charges
The call charges have also greatly reduced. It used
to be that you had to be very mindful of what area you
were in so that the call would not cost a huge amount
of money. I remember a friend of ours calling his wife
and kids every night during a hunting trip he was on
in the western part of the United States.
When he got the bill for the calls it was hundreds
of dollars. He did not realize that his plan did not
cover the state he was in and that the roaming costs
where so high. He had been helping his son with math
homework over the phone and even listened to his daughter
play a new song she learned on the piano.
The entire time the costs were adding up at an alarming
rate. The new digital satellite system and other cellular
towers are now often put up by several different service
providers so you can utilize the signal with out having
to pay extra for it.
Local Cell Phone Coverage Is Forever Increasing
The amount of coverage in your area can depend on the
service provider for your mobile phone. When we bought
a new cell phone, we made sure there was local satellite
coverage with a service provider in our area. I can
now call people as part of my business, and I am never
out of reach from my family. Especially when I am out
in the middle of nowhere and I can be reached with the
digital satellite system.
There are times when I am concerned there may be a
family emergency and I do not know about it and my family
may be trying to reach me. Recently, my mother was seriously
ill and my daughter called to tell me and I rang the
ambulance service from my new cell phone to go to my
mothers home to take her to the hospital. I arrived
at her home just as soon as the ambulance had arrived.
I was grateful when I could make the call to the ambulance
during such an emergency and the digital satellite system
was working fine.
