It is up to you if you want to bring a satellite phone with you. However, some parts of the rally takes place in areas with no or very limited phone coverage, so we recommend that all vehicles have an iridium satellite phone. 

We will equip you with an GPS tracker where you can contact ORG if you have technical or medical issues. To bring a satellite phone is for extra safety.
