Abstract

A mobile phone including a handset having a transceiver adapted for selective communication in cellular and satellite modes. The handset includes a cellular antenna adapted to receive cellular wavelength signals, a connector for a satellite antenna, and a switch adapted to selectively connect either the cellular antenna or the connector to the transceiver. The satellite antenna is adapted for selective connection to the connector of the mobile phone handset, the satellite antenna being adapted to receive satellite wavelength signals. The satellite antenna includes a cavity in a first portion adapted to receive and frictionally secure to the cellular antenna, and a plunger is adapted to engage the switch to disconnect the cellular antenna from, and connect the satellite antenna to, the transceiver when the satellite antenna is secured to the handset connector.
