Satellite-based emergency text alert system: Chris Hoar interviewed from Galileyo.com
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Actually, I should just say before I go on, the Galileo is built on a very decentralized network of servers.
We utilize multiple server farms and data farms around the world for redundancy.
we use IPFS to distribute our files so that we can't be taken out by ransomware for example and we protect our data by a little bit technical and I don't always understand everything but we run the data through some private nodes so we're very protected from partitioning attacks
welcome to the health ranger report on brighton.tv i'm I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And today, we've got a great new guest for you.
His name is Chris Hoare from Galileo.com.
It's a strange spelling.
We'll show it to you on screen.
But this is a company that offers...
An emergency communications method that works even when the cell towers are down and the power grid is down.
And it uses sat phones and you can get messages from key people such as Steve Quayle and myself and Doug Hagman and many others who are sending alert messages via the satellite network and using not only sat phones but other devices coming up.
You can receive those messages even right now you can receive them on your mobile phones To stay informed as things get really chaotic in 2022 and beyond.
So we'll be right back with Chris Hoare here from Galileo.com, right here on Brighton.tv.
Stay with us.
We'll be right back with that interview.
Welcome back, folks.
This is going to be a good one.
Really important if you want to be able to keep in touch and get real-time alerts on what's happening in the world, even as the collapse accelerates all around us.
I want to welcome Chris Hoare.
He is the marketing director of Galileo.
We'll put the URL on screen for you.
It's not spelled like the Italian scientist exactly.
It's a different spelling.
But Chris, welcome to the show.
It's great to have you on.
Yeah, thanks for having me on, Mike.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Well, absolutely.
So I want to disclose right up front that your company has sponsored many of my podcasts, by the way.
There's not any special sponsorship for this interview, but you are a sponsor of our podcast, and I appreciate that.
And I think we have many thousands of really happy customers who are kind of in our circle of fans and so on.
But I just want to say that up front so people know.
Of course.
So, okay, with that said, tell us, what is Galileo?
I know you've been working on it for well over a year, and it's up and running right now.
Tell us, what is Galileo, and how does it work?
So Galileo is a communications platform that utilizes the satellite phone networks.
And what we've done is we've created a platform that can deliver messages to your sat phone from the providers, the influencers that you follow today, the people you trust to get your news from.
I think you're in Texas, right, Mike?
Correct.
What you saw in the beginning of this year in February was a total blackout for weeks, and you had no power and no cell phones.
I will never forget it.
It's not a good place to be.
You don't expect it living in such a great state in America, but it can happen anywhere.
So what Galileo does is, even in that situation, it provides you information constantly to your sat phone so you can stay informed.
You can figure out what's going on.
You can stay in touch with your financial life by checking your stock prices, crypto prices, bond prices.
We send you weather alerts and then news and information from all of your favorite and trusted providers, such as yourself.
Doug Hagman, Steve Quayle, as you mentioned.
And this is the only way you can get information when you have a blackout or a situation like that.
So what you're saying is someone gets a satellite phone first, right?
And they can get it through your...
Is it your company, or is satellite phone stores at a separate company?
It's a separate company, and sat123.com, I believe, is the link that takes your...
That's right.
And starting today, your viewers can actually get a sat phone, which is free with activation, and they can add Galileo to that right at the satellite phone store if they want.
Oh, wow.
Okay, so when they get the phone, they can add Galileo, and then that means they then go to Galileo.com and pick which people they want to hear from, such as me and Steve Quayle and others?
Yeah, we'll send them right away.
We'll send them a login and password, and they can go in then and start choosing the feeds they want to receive.
It's completely up to them, but yeah, there's a growing number of great choices for everyone, including yourself, and we really appreciate you being on the platform.
Oh, absolutely.
I've been begging for something like this because, as you know, I've given sat phones to my family members and my key business people.
Some of them are located in other countries.
I've actually had sat phones shipped to them.
And this is how I'm going to communicate with my own people, my own staff in an emergency, as well as all the people who want to receive my alerts.
It's going to be the same alerts for everybody.
Right.
But is there an additional fee for this, or what is that fee?
Yeah, it's $12 a month is the basic plan, and that gets you a bunch of feeds to choose from, and that's all you need to pay.
We have extended plans, and we have family plans, you know, of course, just like the satellite phone store does, where you get multiple phones and you can share feeds and so on.
But yeah, just $12 a month, so less than 50 cents a day.
Okay, great.
And give us some other names of some other people like myself and Steve Quayle and Doug Hagman, but who else is also sending out alerts through this system?
We've got the Blazing Press.
We've got Dave Hodges.
We're about to bring on Pastor Begley.
And we've just put up on Galileo.com, if you're locked in, you'll see the new Infowars feed, which is coming soon.
So Alex Jones is joining us, and we're very excited about that as well.
And we're just growing every day the number of influencers are joining us.
So, walk us through, how does somebody receive these messages on their satellite phone?
I mean, do they turn on the phone, open up the antenna, point it at the sky, and just wait?
Or how does it work?
Yep, the messages will come in as soon as they turn it on.
And, you know, as you said, the phone does need to have connection to the satellite, so you do need to be outside typically.
But as soon as you turn the phone on, the messages will come in.
If you leave it on, they'll come in as they're sent out.
Oh, okay.
Nothing more than you need to do that when you sign up for GALA, you just put in your sat phone number.
That's it.
You know, that's all you need to do.
And then just choose the feeds that you want.
Okay.
And there's no charge per message or anything like that.
It's just...
No.
No, absolutely not.
We try to keep this as affordable as we can.
You know, the satellite phone store at sat123.com is doing a great job with the free phone offer with activation, and we don't want to make this a burden on people.
We know a lot of people are having a really tough time out there, but I think...
I'm sure a lot of your audience is very well prepared for a disaster, emergency or breakdown of society or whatever it might be with food supplies and so on.
But communications is a big part of that and information can be key.
As you know, you're in the information business.
It can be the difference between life and death.
So, you know, if you have no information, you're really in the dark and we want to try and help people not be in the dark.
Well, right.
And, you know, terrestrial radio, like ham radio, of course, has a very important role to play, but it's limited by geography.
And, I mean, we love all the hammers out there, and they're going to play a critical role in all of this.
But, you know, if you can bounce messages off satellites, then you can get messages anywhere on the planet practically, except maybe the very North and South Pole, I would imagine.
Yeah, I mean, look, there's a reason the U.S. government, the U.S. military, the biggest customers of satellite phone services is because they're all over the world.
And, you know, any of our brave men who surfed out in the sandbox or anywhere else will tell you that a satellite phone is the only way they keep in touch.
And, of course, the military itself uses it to conduct operations.
Right.
If the satellites go down, we have a whole different set of problems.
Well, yeah, then we're in, I don't know, a total global Mad Max collapse scenario at that point.
Right.
If the military satellites go down, then things have gotten very bad.
Yeah.
As you know, the censorship is going on everywhere and also on cell phones.
Back in 2018, in December 2018, the FCC changed the definition of what SMS messages are from communications to information.
And that allowed the carriers to then start censoring keywords, kicking people off with no repercussions whatsoever, and they've been doing that, as Steve Quayle and others can attest to directly, and we've seen it as well.
Yeah, you're right.
That's a good point.
That's going to get worse.
And also, as I experienced in Texas, the cell towers just went down and stayed down.
I mean, they had a little bit of battery backup, maybe three hours of battery backup, but once the power grid failed, it was only a matter of time, and they stayed down hard.
I mean, we had no fuel.
Yeah.
I mean, what else?
Well, most people had no water and we had even broken water pipes ourselves.
We literally were down to like an 18th century existence for an entire week.
Yeah, no.
And that's where the sat phones really, you know, are key because they are a source of information.
Of course, you can call out and send messages out, but you're going to be automatically getting messages from people like yourself, so you know what's going on.
I mean, typically, when the power goes out and stuff, you just wait an hour and it comes back.
But what if it doesn't, and you experience that very exact situation?
Right.
Now it starts to become worrying.
And the longer it goes without information, the more worried you get.
And maybe you should be, maybe you shouldn't be, but you don't know.
Now, here's a question.
Can people sign up for your service even if they don't have a satellite phone?
They can sign up for the service and then go buy one.
It does only work on sat phones at the moment, but we are adding other things, other units like the satellite hotspot units that are out there.
We'll be adding some of those very shortly.
But what it really comes down to is we...
We pride ourselves on offering anyone, of any political leaning or whatever it is, a platform where they cannot be deplatformed and won't be taken down, won't be edited.
Look, if someone on our platform says something that breaks the law, then it does.
But it's not up to us to decide what that is.
It's not up to us to decide what you or anyone else should say.
It's up to us to help people, you know, access their First Amendment rights.
Well, and also the text length is rather limited because of the structure of satellite phones, so I know that when I've sent out messages, I've kept them very succinct, you know, really on track, just giving the most important information in, what is it, like 120 characters or something like that?
It's like 140, 150, all said and done.
But like I said, in the world of the blind man, the one I've been is king.
And when you have nothing, this is everything.
It is short, but it gets the word out.
Now, if someone has a satellite phone and they are subscribed to the Galileo service, can they also receive those messages through another method simultaneously, like an email or something?
Yeah, they can always check them on their phone, they can check them on their desktop or laptop, you know, if they have regular service.
You mean by logging into Galileo and just seeing messages there, or what do you mean?
Yeah, so you can just, on your phone, we have a very mobile-friendly site, so it'll display properly.
You can just check it on your phone, go to Galileo.com, log in, and you'll be able to see all the messages that were sent to us at phone and see what else is going on with other people as well.
I see.
Okay.
And the spelling, folks, in case you're not seeing this, it's G-A-L-I-L-E-Y-O. Galileo.
Actually, it's a Y-O. So the spelling is a little different from what people might expect upon hearing it the first time.
Okay, so what else do we need to know about?
Is there future support for other devices in the works?
Does it work on different satellite phones from different carriers?
What else do we need to know?
Yeah, I mean, essentially, there are really two satellite phone providers at the moment.
There's Imarsat and Iridium.
It does work on both of those.
There are many devices that run off those networks, and some of those are working with our platform already, but we're not officially, you know, saying that we're guaranteeing that.
But yeah, things like the Xoleo and Bibi, yes, they're out there, and they will be coming online soon.
Going forward, we're developing...
Actually, I should just say before I go on, the Galileo is built on a very decentralized network of servers.
We utilize multiple server farms and data farms around the world for redundancy.
We use IPFS to distribute our files so that we can't be taken out by ransomware, for example.
And we protect our data...
A little bit technical, and I don't always understand everything, but we run the data through some private nodes, so we're very protected from partitioning attacks.
Okay, so you've taken a lot of technical steps yourself to be kind of resistant to any kind of failures or anything like that.
Yeah, you know, because we're seeing it all the time.
We're seeing Facebook, we're seeing power companies getting taken offline, and so on.
And that's because they're not decentralized.
We're utilizing the emerging Web3 infrastructure to protect our layout and all of its messages and people.
But beyond that, in the first quarter of next year, we're rolling out our new operating system platform, which is Archimedes RainCloud.
And that will allow anyone to upload a file that cannot be deleted by anyone else except them, period.
Oh, wow.
Amongst many other things.
So the next question then that kind of leads to is people might wonder, will there at some point be a way where they can create their own group and then if they have friends and family members who have sat phones that they could subscribe to their own feed?
Yeah, and they can actually do that today at Galileo.
And I know you're saying that this is a way that you'll stay in touch with your team if cell phones are down and so on.
Yeah, it's called private messaging.
So you can create your own feed.
You can invite your friends and family or co-workers or whatever it is to join that.
And then you can send one message just like you do on something like Twitter.
It's the only way we're similar to Twitter, by the way.
You type in a box, press send, and it goes out to your people.
And no one else sees that except the people who are on your distribution list.
If a person doesn't check in, you know, they don't turn on their phone every day, for how many days will the messages be buffered so that that person can still retrieve them later on?
It does vary with financial information.
If you haven't picked up the Dow opening price or Bitcoin morning price by the time the evening comes, we'll delete that message so you're not flooded with messages.
With influencer messages from people like yourself, we leave them longer because they don't expire in a day.
But we also don't want people to turn their phones on and have like 150 messages coming at the same time.
Right.
From two weeks ago, yeah.
Pretty basic, as you know.
They're like the early cell phones, so a little different.
But yeah, we're constantly listening to our subscribers who've been really helpful in giving us feedback.
And yourself, right at the beginning of this, when we were talking, you gave us an idea that we put into place.
So if you are completely cut off, you can still broadcast a message with your sat phone to your subscribers on Galileo.
Okay, now, I have not yet done that, and I know that was, I did raise concerns about being able to do that, because what if I lose, you know, all local internet capability?
So you're saying that that feature is in place now?
Yeah, that is in place now, because we, and thanks to you, we really appreciate that, and we're listening to everyone's ideas, and that does make a lot of sense, and we have implemented that, yep.
Okay, wow.
So you're going to have to probably walk me through how to do that.
I guess I'm going to have to use the keypad on the phone like old school typing sentences with number pads, right?
Yeah, it's not the world's easiest thing, but again, it is a way to stay in touch when no one else can.
And so we're doing everything we can to expand the platform and the offerings.
Okay.
By the way, I'm serious.
I definitely want to learn how to do that because I want to make sure I can do that as a backup.
The other thing is, could you share some of the stories with me about how people are using sat phones already to save themselves from situations or to save lives?
Because I'm hearing stories out there.
What are you hearing?
Well, yeah, look, and it goes across the board just from here in Denver, for example.
You know, my in-laws live here and they go hiking up in the mountains and they take cell phones with them because, you know, as soon as you get off the beaten path, your cell phone signal goes away.
I mean, it's bad enough here in downtown Denver where I am.
But when they're just going hiking, I mean, people slip and fall going hiking and die all the time.
It sounds ridiculous, but if you've broken a leg or you can't drag yourself around and you're in the middle of the woods up there in the mountains, you're in trouble.
With a sat phone, there is literally a button on top of it you can press that will alert the emergency services to your exact location.
Yeah, I've noticed that button.
I have not pressed it, obviously, but I've noticed you kind of have to really want to press it.
You have to work at it.
Yeah.
I mean, Steve Quayle, like a week after he got his phone, he was at a thing in the Grand Canyon, and they were cut off from cell phone service, and his wife had some kind of accident, and they used that phone to get a Medivac in there.
So it was a lifesaver for him right away.
But there are people using cell phones all over the world.
We have people who are on the...
You know, the power companies use them for one thing, because when a hurricane comes and everything is down, they need to communicate whilst they're putting the networks back up.
We have a lot of companies and businesses now who are really concerned about losing Internet service or being cut off from some new policy or whatever.
They can't afford to be cut off from the Internet, from phone, and we have even mobile satellite Internet units that we install in buildings, planes, boats.
Every fisherman and everyone who's got a boat will tell you almost all of them have a sat phone of one kind or another.
Yeah, and I've noticed a lot of veterans and active duty military and National Guard members and also first responders, they're all loading up with sat phones because often, especially first responders, they're thrust into a situation where the grid is down in the aftermath of a hurricane or an earthquake or something like that.
So the sat phone becomes their lifeline to communicating with each other.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
The big part of the recovery effort in any of these natural disasters is satellite communications because these people have to be able to communicate to coordinate the rescues.
Yeah, so the other thing is that...
I think another reason why your service, Galileo, is so critical is because in, let's say, a war scenario or in even a natural disaster or an EMP attack or something, what the people of America, I guess, and all over the world have learned is that you can't trust the media to report the truth.
Right.
So where do they get an alternative viewpoint on what's going on?
And I would think that people like Doug Hagman and Dave Hodges and Steve Quayle and myself are going to be a far better source for real information about what's happening.
Right, exactly.
And, you know, what the internet has failed to do is give a platform, you know, which offers freedom of speech to anyone, uncensored, unedited, every day now.
Like, the internet is controlled basically by five companies, and all of them have their opinions, and if you don't agree with those opinions, I mean, good luck.
We've seen YouTube channels shut off, people kicked off Twitter.
All over the world the other day, they kicked off, what, 10,000 accounts?
Including some government accounts.
I mean, just unbelievable.
And so it's so important to have a way for anyone who's got a voice and got following to be able to keep broadcasting without censorship, without fear of being shut off.
And, you know, the satellite networks are one of the only places that can happen right now.
Right.
And also, can't people, if you've got a satellite phone and your business partner has a satellite phone, and I haven't used this feature, but can't you also send texts to each other?
Yes, you can text just like on your cell phone.
It's also important for people to know that with a sat phone, you can call another sat phone, yes, but you can call a landline, a cell phone anywhere in the world, anywhere that's operating.
That's right.
You're not limited to just talking to other sat phones, and you can text any cell phone anywhere in the world as well.
Right, right.
Okay, so yeah, it's universal.
You can call a landline, you can call a cell phone, and you can call a sat phone.
Now, I do want to offer the tip to people that you should write down the prefixes that you need to use in order to do that.
You know, like 011 or 001 or whatever, because for me, that took me a little bit to just sort that out of what I'm calling and what I dial.
Yeah.
I mean, look, it's like any of this equipment that you're buying for preparation for emergency, you need to know how to use it because you never know when you're going to have to do that.
You know, you want to keep, you make sure every six months we recommend that you check your batteries, charge your batteries up, you know, just so you've, you know, hopefully you'll never have to use those, but if you do, it'll be ready to go.
But yeah, it's important to make a few practice calls and texts for sure.
Now, the other advantage in all of this is that when you have a sat phone and you're subscribed to Galileo and you're receiving these messages, it's really hard for any entity, any government, to track where you are physically.
Yeah, I mean, we all know that if you're talking to someone, a friend, your wife, your kids, whatever, about, let's say, a leaf blower, you know, we need to blow the leaves.
The next thing you see is an ad on your phone for leaf blowers at Home Depot, right?
It's not an accident.
They're listening to you.
The apps are listening to you, you know, and it's gotten worse than that, though.
I mean, who knows who's listening to you?
One of the new, I guess, the new iPhone operating system is doing client-side scanning.
You know, according to a lot of news outlets.
So they're looking at every file you use and comparing it to whatever it is they want to compare it to.
I mean, it's just, I don't know, it's very scary.
But no, a satellite phone cannot be tracked, at least within a usable distance.
50 square miles, I think, is the closest they can narrow it down to with an iridium.
And MRSAT, I think, is even wider than that.
Your cell phone broadcasts your exact location down to the square foot 24 hours a day, as well as watching you through the camera and listening to you as well through the mic.
Yeah, that's a good point.
These sat phones don't have cameras yet, anyway.
And these messages are just pure text messages.
They're not videos.
They're not photos.
They're just text.
Right.
Chris, any final thoughts?
We've got 20 seconds to wrap up this segment for Brighteon.tv.
Go ahead.
I would say that it is important to be prepared now because of the supply chain shortage.
SAT phones are in limited supply.
We do have some at sat123.com, but we are running out for this year, so don't delay.
And they're free with activation.
Okay, this continues on brightown.com.
Thanks for watching, folks.
All right, Chris, this is the extended interview.
Thank you for sticking with us here, and I'm glad you mentioned that.
SAT123.com is where you can get a satellite phone, and then you can sign up for Galileo right there.
And just to let everybody know, I'm going to start using Galileo as a message originator on a more regular basis, sending out sort of alert levels, like what's the most important thing to pay attention to today?
And, you know, obviously I can't break it down by city or region because the messages are kind of short, but if there's something big happening in one city, like New York City is under attack, obviously I'll put out a special message just about New York City.
So, you know, This is going to be my go-to for getting out messages when things get really crazy.
Go ahead, Chris.
Yeah, and I love to hear that, and we appreciate that, and that's exactly why we built this platform, to give people like yourself a way to get critical information out on a platform that will not go down in these things.
I mean, look, 9-11, I was in the communications business back then, and in those towers were communications hubs for cell phone companies and internet companies, and that took out a huge part of New York State and beyond.
But even when...
But of course, our phones were utilized and working with the first responders going to the scene there immediately.
But even when things don't look crazy, at a concert, if you ever try making a call at a concert, you know, a big rock concert or what have you, you can't often get a call out because cell towers take a very limited amount of calls at the same time.
And when you have these horrific events like school shootings and so on, the cell towers are immediately overwhelmed.
True.
You might have a phone and there might be nothing wrong with the weather and the infrastructure, but you're not going to be able to make or receive a call if the towers are overloaded.
So you never know when you're going to need one of these things.
Yeah, and folks, it doesn't take much to keep your satellite phone charged.
It doesn't use very much electricity.
You can get a simple solar charger, like a little solar power bank like this.
And I think these are, you know, you can get them as cheap as $25 or $30.
And all it needs is a little USB port.
The USB charges the phone.
And it doesn't take much to keep it charged.
And that way, even if you're 100% off-grid, As long as you've got a little bit of sunlight, you've got some backup power.
So what else do you want to add to that, Chris?
We also have Faraday bags for your phones.
I mean, look, they protect you from solar flares, EMP attacks.
I mean, you know, it's really important that when you grab this thing, it's going to ready no matter what the emergency is and what's going on.
Yeah, that's a great point.
You know, put it in your Faraday bag along with, like, whatever else you want to survive with.
You know, your thermal scope, your calculators.
It would suck to do math by hand.
Yeah.
I don't know, your radio, like local radios, things like that.
So what else do people need to think about in terms of preparedness in this context?
You know, obviously everyone wants to think about themselves and their direct family, but if you have elderly relatives or parents or kids in that location, I mean, we have at sat123.com, we have family plans and as does Galileo.
Okay.
People who are older and more frail can't necessarily move around, but if they can make a call on a sat phone, they can get assistance.
So it's just peace of mind.
We all have a lot of family we care about and love, and some of them are less capable and able-bodied than others, and we want to look after them too.
Yeah, absolutely.
Make this part of your overall preparedness plan.
And I think it's also a great idea to have a local radio like a Baofeng radio, you know, a couple of radios with your neighborhood.
You need to be able to communicate locally as well as get intel.
And then I think you also need radios, you know, ham radios.
Even if you don't have a license to broadcast, you can just listen.
And by listening, you can gather a tremendous amount of intel on what's happening right around you.
Yeah, and that's a great point.
And Steve Quayle's been working to put together a kind of network of ham radio operators who will receive messages from Galileo and rebroadcast them to anyone who can hear them.
Oh, very cool.
It's just another way that we can get the message out there because, again, it's so critical.
If there's information people need to know, we want to get that to as many people as we can as fast as we can.
You know, and a lot of people, they might think that we are overthinking all of this, but you know how quickly society can just collapse into war.
Like, think about in the 1990s in Kosovo, or think about being an American in Afghanistan just recently.
Suddenly, your country is pulling out and leaving you behind.
If you had a sat phone, and I know a lot of them did, they could actually call for help.
And they were calling for help, and they were still abandoned.
And that's crazy.
We're not going to get into that.
But, yeah.
You're right.
I mean, look, earlier, we're in 2021 now, but last year we saw what I thought we were on the verge of a complete breakdown of society.
I mean, it was very scary.
You know, we've got civil unrest going on in every major city in this country.
And fortunately, we turned the corner there.
But We're never too far away from that, especially with the supply chain shortages we have right now.
You've just got to be prepared and hope for the best, prepare for the worst, but information is such a key part of that.
Well, that's absolutely the case.
I mean, information is critical.
For example, Dave Hodges and Steve Quayle and I have all warned about the possibility of the continental United States being invaded by the communist Chinese army.
And if that happens, it would probably be accompanied by a cyber attack on the power grid.
Comms would be down.
So how are you going to know if there's an invading army, you know, rolling tanks towards your town?
This is how you're going to know.
Yeah, no, the first thing they're going to do is attack the communications networks, but it's a lot harder to take down the SAP networks.
So this might be the only way that you can get information in a situation like that, because they're going to be doing their best to put out misinformation.
I think this is like a lot of the media does every day in this country, right?
I mean, so it's so important that you can pick whoever it is you choose to trust to get your information from them when you need it the most.
Yeah, they'll be announcing, oh, we're coming with food rescue operations, but they're actually coming to kill you, right?
That kind of thing.
Yep.
Oh, my.
Okay.
Well, Chris, anything else that I've left out that people need to know about how all this works?
I think you've done a great job covering it, Mike.
It's really not a complicated thing, and we've tried to make it as affordable as possible.
But yep, and now at sat123.com you can get your free phone with Activation and Galileo all in one bundle.
And you heard Mike say just now he's going to be putting out his messages through Galileo as well.
So stay in touch.
And every sale of both Galileo and the Sappho will benefit this great show.
So we really appreciate you helping us out today.
Yeah, absolutely.
We appreciate the sponsorship of the Satellite Phone Store for our podcast and for Brighteon and all of that.
And somehow you've still made it really affordable for people.
I think the plans are just under $100 a month.
You get a certain block of minutes.
The minutes roll over when you don't use them, so you can kind of save them up.
You're kind of building a bank of communication minutes.
And then the phone is free under these plans.
Yeah, and normally the phones are anywhere from $500 to $1,000, so it's a huge saving.
And combined with Galileo, you know, it really is life insurance, you know, that's going to save your life, not pay out when you're gone, you know, potentially.
Yeah, I've even been trying to figure out how does a satellite phone store, you know, front all the cash to buy all the phones and send them out for free?
I mean, it's got to take a while to recoup that.
I mean, a long while, you know?
Yeah.
People are getting such a great deal.
Yeah.
Well, we're very fortunate to have so many great customers.
It's things like this that help get us even more customers and more commercial business.
We really appreciate all of it.
By the way, to anyone who's thinking of advertising with this show here and being a sponsor, it's been really great for us.
We've had a fantastic experience.
Oh, that's great to hear.
Yeah, thank you.
You know, I also should mention, I don't know if your company has created a channel on Brighteon, but, you know, you are free to do so, and I think it'd be great to put content up there, sort of how-to content.
Like, you know, what do you do?
You just got your satellite phone, sort of an open-box tour.
Great idea.
And in fact, we just started putting together these videos to help our Galileo subscribers.
But yeah, we can customize those and maybe put some new ones together for Bridie on TV. We'd love to do that.
I think it'd be great.
Yeah, if you start posting those, let me know because we'd like to cover that and share that with people.
The only stumbling block that I've run into with anybody Is with some of my older family members just having a little bit of difficulty navigating the interface of the phone because it's kind of old school, right?
Yeah, yeah.
No, it sure is.
And I think it really is a good idea to put them up on your network there at Byteon TV and we will absolutely get on that.
And I'll let you know when we've got some stuff posted.
That sounds awesome.
All right.
Well, I want to thank you, Chris.
I know you're super busy.
I want to thank you for taking the time here.
And please keep us posted about the new developments.
I know you have some pretty exciting things coming up for 2022.
We're a big supporter of your business and want to see you grow and expand your reach and offer more features and get more influencers on your network.
So thank you for taking the time today.
It's my pleasure, Mike.
Thanks so much.
All right, absolutely.
And folks, the website is Galileo.com, G-A-L-I-L-E-Y-O, Galileo.com, and also get your satellite phone at SAT123.com.
These two things together, the phone and the Galileo service, gets you the emergency broadcast from myself and Steve Quayle and Doug Hagman and Dave Hodges and Alex Jones coming up soon, and many other people who are joining as well.
Thank you all for watching today.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com, and feel free to repost this video on other platforms.
Get prepared.
We're in for a ride, all of us.
God bless you all.
Be safe.
Take care.
This is an amazing company that has sponsored both of us.
And this is a way to have backup communications when the grid goes down.
Well, the situation became problematic, Mike, with the New Orleans, the latest hurricane, because people panic.
And this is one thing that I've learned from being associated with the satellite phone store for over a decade.
People will call and order 600 phones at a time.
What?
It's like this, Mike.
Anytime there is a crisis, people want these.
And ladies and gentlemen, they've created such a good deal for Mike's viewers, my viewers, our combined viewers, that this is the only way you're going to be able to communicate.
And that's the other beauty about these phones, is they can't track you because it's not talking to a cell tower.
It's talking to satellites.
You know, orbiting over the equator.
