It's that time of year again! Today officially marks the start of the 2017 Hurricane Season. Hurricanes have the potential to knock out power, cell coverage, and cause much more damage. As always, the number one way to deal with a potential storm is to be prepared. 

Perhaps the safest way to ensure that you will still be connected when a storm hits is to invest in a satellite phone. Sat phones can help keep you on the grid when a storm hits giving you the the ability to contact your friends and family to let them know that you are safe. Sat phones will also allow easy contact to emergency responder, and some phones even come with a dedicated emergency button, providing immediate emergenct contact when it is needed most.

If you are interested in purchasing a satellite phone, you can find more information in our Satphone Buyers Guide. You will be able to choose between Iridium, Globalstar, Thuraya, and other reputable brands. Rentals are also available for as low as $3 a day.
