About this app

!! IMPORTANT !! Due to legal regulations satellite is only available for people with german residential address. We are obligated to validate this and you can not use satellite without verification.

satellite is the sipgate app with its own mobile number. It works no matter who your current provider is – and you can be reached from anywhere in the world. Use satellite alongside your current mobile plan, or switch to satellite completely. Make calls just like you’re used to, and stay reachable on your satellite number – whether it’s friends, family, or the plumber calling. To them, it’s just another regular call – no app required.

What you get:
- A German mobile number
- Simultaneous multi-device use
- Always-on reachability, even with the app closed
- Great call quality – even on slow connections
- Calls over Wi-Fi or mobile data – no SIM needed
- Encrypted calls using SRTP and TLS
- 100 free minutes/month to landlines and mobile networks in 60 countries (including Germany)
- AI-generated call summaries
- Smart inbox to help you handle and collaborate on calls

Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide already use satellite.
The press says:

“Wenn etwas gut ist, dann ist es einfach gut” – ComputerBild

“Dienst und App überzeugen - sie belegen nachdrücklich, wie einfach man zusätzliche Mobilfunknummern auf modernen Smartphones nutzen kann” – Heise online

We developed satellite from scratch and even built our own telecom carrier from the ground up, making satellite way more than just another VoIP app: satellite gives you real independence from the big mobile providers in Germany.

The best of mobile and VoIP
satellite offers the convenience of a mobile number with the flexibility of VoIP. All backed by our own infrastructure, used reliably by hundreds of thousands of users since 2018XX. All you need is a Wi-Fi or mobile data connection. And since your number isn’t tied to a SIM card, switching data providers is easy.

-----------
For sipgate customers
You can log in to your sipgate account directly in the satellite app. Once logged in, your sipgate account conditions apply.
You can make mobile calls just like in the sipgate desktop app. Feature availability may vary, but we’re constantly improving satellite and rolling out new features.

I would even use the paid version if this app: 1. allowed for receiving SMS messages (which is extremely important to me); 2. could be used from the Philippines; and 3. allowed me to set up a WhatsApp account using the provided phone number. The latter isn't possible because there is no SMS functionality, and WhatsApp's automatic callback verification method doesn't work either. As long as these three features are missing, this app is not a real alternative for me.

Hi Folco! Due to technical reasons, standard SMS indeed aren't supported. However, satellite does work worldwide, including the Philippines, as long as you have internet and a German residence. If you have questions, reach out to help (at) satellite.me. Best regards, Your satellite Team

there's connectivity issues like can't hear the person on the other end or vice versa. there's drop outs but these issues are few and far between. plus it's not a big deal especially if you're using the app Free of charge! currently living outside of my home country and use the satellite app to call home a few times a month for free!! when I have a few extra bucks to spare I pay for the month to get unlimited calls outside this country to my home country!!! awesome app! thanks for the calls!

I can't recommend this app at all. I use it quite a lot for my job and the app constantly crashes, doesn't open, is WAY to slow etc. The audio itself is mostly okay, but other than that, it's not a good app (And yes, I've redownloaded, closed etc the app multiple times). Every call I make I have to fear that it might crash and not open again for several minutes.

This does not sound like our app is behaving normally on your phone. Please get in touch with us with us at help@satellite.me so that we can take a look at your case. Which phone and OS are you on?

What’s new

You can now see internal contacts even without granting access to your local contacts. We've also fixed an issue where mute status could be lost after a network change.
