I was in High School in 1999 and they didn't take our satellite phones away.
They took our cell phones.
Actually, they never took them they just made us keep it in our lockers.

It's a phone that can get a signal anywhere because it works on an uplink with communications satellites.
I think they were originally created for the military.
Check Wikipedia.

I don't think there's a way to make the definition of satellite phone be woke, Francis.
Lighten up. Watch a football game. Make a sammich. Get a good night's sleep. Everything will be okay.

They used one in
Lone Survivor
as well. And while that story was largely made up for propaganda purposes, I believe that satellite phones are real

No one had cell phones in 1999. Especially teenagers.
