The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- While cellular telephone service companies rely on cell towers, satellite service functions even in areas without terrestrial network coverage but require line-of-sight to a satellite.
- Most support voice, text, and low-bandwidth data services.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Satellite phone article was read about 68,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Satellite phone
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
