How does the Cat S75 satellite messaging work?

The phone uses an NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) chip that allows sending and receiving text messages via satellites in areas with no mobile coverage. This requires a clear view of the sky.

Is sending satellite messages free?

No, a monthly subscription is required to use satellite messaging. Emergency messages (SOS) usually come with a 12-month free period from the initial activation.

How waterproof is the Cat S75, really?

The device has an IP68 and IP69K rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in up to 5 meters of water for 35 minutes and can also withstand high-pressure washing and hot water.

Will the screen break if dropped?

The Cat S75 has been tested for drops from up to 1.8 meters onto steel. The screen is protected by a thick Gorilla Glass Victus glass, which is recessed into the body.

Does the phone support the 5G network in Estonia?

Yes, the Cat S75 supports all major 5G frequencies used by Telia, Elisa, and Tele2.

Does the phone have a programmable button?

Yes, there is an orange button on the left side that can be configured to open a specific app, turn on the flashlight, or use the Push-to-Talk (PTT) function.
