HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (131 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Use satellite in addition to your existing mobile connection. You make calls as you know it and can be reached on your satellite by everyone who uses satellite too - whether its friends, family or business-contacts. Several hundreds of thousands of users are using satellite. satellite offers much more than the usual VoIP apps and makes you really independent.

You will also receive regular add-ons to existing basic functions. For example: - record and manage your own voicemail greetings in the app - multi-level profiles for reachability. Ringtone, voicemail greeting and call notification can be easily customized according to the situation. The subscription is concluded via in-app purchase and costs 4.99 € per month. - The 4,99 € are billed monthly via your iTunes account. - The subscription is automatically renewed one day before the end of the month. You can cancel at any time in the App Store or in the system settings of your iPhone. - If you cancel less than 24 hours before the end of the month, the subscription will be renewed again and 4,99 € will be charged for the last time. - After the end of the subscription you will switch to the free basic version of satellite. Your settings and data will be applied. T&C: https://www.satellite.me/terms-and-conditions Data Protection Declaration: https://www.satellite.me/data-protection-declaration
