How does BSNL's ₹1.34 lakh satellite phone function without cellular towers?

BSNL offers a satellite phone for ₹1,34,166 that remains operational in isolated areas lacking standard network coverage. These devices function by linking to either Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) or Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. During a call, the signal is transmitted from the phone to a satellite, then passed to a ground station, which eventually routes the connection to the internet or the public switched telephone network.
