Why You Need a Satellite Phone for Your Music Festival

One of the reasons people head to the great outdoors is to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. They want to feel connected to nature and explore something beyond the confines of their weekly 9-5. We can also say the same about music. Though we may not physically remove ourselves from our day-to-day normal when we listen to it, it gives us an opportunity to escape when we focus on the beat and the words. This is what makes music festivals so alluring. Combining the beauty of the outdoors with your favorite music can be an amazing experience. But even though we crave the escape from the weekly grind, being completely disconnected can lead to the anxiousness you’re trying to eliminate. That’s why having a satellite phone available during these types of events is a good idea.

Why do you need a satellite phone at an outdoor music festival?

  1. Your cell phone likely won’t work properly.
  2. Having a satellite phone at the festival will give you peace of mind so you can focus on being present.
  3. You’ll have a 24/7 connection in the event of an emergency.

Enjoying your outdoor music experience in a community setting doesn’t mean you have to be entirely disconnected from the rest of the world to do so.

Cell Coverage Will Probably Be Spotty At Best

If you’ve ever been to a large venue even in the heart of the city, you know what it’s like to have a cell phone that won’t load anything properly, gets error messages instead of successfully sending texts, or drops calls. When lots of phones are competing for coverage at the same time, nearby cell towers become overloaded. It can be very frustrating.

Maybe you’re thinking, but the festival I’m attending isn’t in a stadium – it’s outside. You should be fine, right? I wouldn’t count on it. Just because you aren’t in an enclosed area doesn’t mean you won’t have thousands of people trying to use their cell phones all at the same time. And with more and more music festivals popping up in remote areas, you might find yourself somewhere that has no cell reception at all.

Once you’ve paid for your ticket to attend a once in a lifetime experience, the last thing you want to be doing is walking in every direction trying to drum up a signal. So whether you are attending an overcrowded concert in the city or a days-long music festival way out in the desert, having a satellite phone is an option you can rely on. Satellite phones like the ones available for rent or purchase at Satmodo ensure you have limitless coverage.


Keeping Peace of Mind At a Music Festival with a Satellite Phone

Attending a community event with like-minded individuals such as a music festival can be a great way to unplug. Both figuratively and literally! Our world has become so dependent on posting, photo-sharing, and giving live updates of our every move. Attending a festival is a great way to leave work and stress behind while also limiting your cell phone use.

The best thing about swapping your cell phone out for a satellite phone is that you can stay connected without the lure of social media. Even if your cell phone did work, having your face buried in it is most definitely making you “unpresent.” But that doesn’t mean you want to be entirely disconnected either. Unwinding also means you need to be free from worry. In this day and age, it can feel stressful feeling like you can’t make a quick phone call back home if you need to, or send a text message to a fellow concert-goer to find out where they are. We get it!

Reliable, no-frills communication is exactly what you want in this situation. The Iridium 9555 is an excellent satellite phone option that allows for calling and text messaging. Having this small-framed satphone in your back pocket will give you precisely the right amount of peace of mind you need without any unnecessary fluff that’s sure to distract you from your festival experience.

Staying Safe at Festivals with Your Satellite Phone

Luckily for most of us, having a satellite phone will simply be a means to stay connected to the people who matter most. But peace of mind doesn’t just mean knowing your loved ones back home are safe and cared for, it also means knowing you have connectivity in the event of an emergency. Though rare, emergencies do happen. No one can predict who they’ll happen to and when. But having a satellite phone with 100% coverage means you are always able to connect if there’s an emergency. Music festivals are normally an amazing experience for most people. But dehydration, weather-related or substance-abuse related emergencies are often present dangers and it’s important to have the means to get help if needed.

No one wants to think it will happen to them (and most likely it won’t). Having a satellite phone is the only way to ensure you can get timely, necessary help if you experience an emergency.

We want you to have an enjoyable and safe music festival experience. Leave the daily grind behind, just be sure to bring your satphone!
