How is satellite phone different from a cellular phone?

call | cellular | destination | different | person | phone | satellite | signal | station

Satellite and cellular phones are wireless devices.They almost look alike but the way they work is totally different.A cellular phone functions on the basis of cells,and hence are called cell phones.The whole network area is divided into small areas and an antenna is installed in each area.These are also called towers.When a cellular phone is mvoing,it enters from one cell to another.When it crosses the border of one cell,the phone sends a signal to the MTSO(Mobile Telephone Switching Office).With the help of control channel the database of the MTSO relocates the phone in a new cell or area.Satellite phones use Low Earth Orbiting(LEO) satellites.When a person makes a call from the handset,a signal goes to the nearest orbiting satellite.The satellite connects to the gateway or ground station.Then the gateway takes the call to the destination.

Call me!

call | Ether | information | research

There is a new service available called Ether. It is currently still in the beta testing phase, but I was lucky enough to be accepted. The way this service works is that someone signs up and they are assigned a phone number. They set a price, and people call call them for their advertised service.

As an already established internet researcher, this is quite a boon. I'm now able to offer my researching skills worldwide. Need to know how fast a crocodile can move, but you are away from the internet? Need the name of a pizza place in Hong Kong and you only have your cellphone available? Need to know whether a package was delivered, but you are away from home? I can check all of these things.
