SPS Expert Tip
SPS Expert Tip Create a 'Sat Phone Go-Bag' as soon as your rental arrives. In our experience leading remote expeditions, organization is crucial for emergency communications. Your go-bag should include: your satellite phone, both batteries, both chargers, a laminated quick-start guide (we provide this), and a small notebook with key contact numbers written down. Store everything in the waterproof case provided and keep it easily accessible - not buried in your main luggage.
Most importantly, write down or save our 24/7 support contact information in multiple places - not just in the phone itself. If you're facing technical issues, you'll need our support numbers readily available. We have helped countless customers through challenging situations because they had our support information handy. Watch our help videos before departure - they're short but packed with essential information that could make a critical difference when you need it most.
Pro-Level Addition: We always recommend taking a photo of your satellite phone's IMEI number and saving it in your regular phone. This makes support calls much smoother if you need assistance!
