Interesting! A friend of mine, who had been working in India for a couple of years, borrowed my Iridium sat phone a couple of times for usage outside of terrestrial network coverage. When he made a hiking tour in the Himalaya to some area in the proximity of Pakistan (I think it were 50 km), I jokingly warned him to watch out for UAVs when using it, as he might be taken to be some insurgent. I presume he was really lucky not to be discovered with a sat phone near the border to India's archenemy.
That friend also used VoIP for years, when it was suddenly blocked and we found out, that using VoIP is a criminal offence over there, too.
