[b]Q. What involvement, if any, do satellites play in our cell phone service?

Swing and a miss.
Just answer the question, FFS.
What is the huge anti-science point you are about to make, or rather the huge conspiracy hiding behind all this?

A phone that connects directly to satellite would be called a satellite phone, so what is normally termed a 'cell phone' does not connect directly to satellites. But if by 'service' you mean the full connectivity to other parties, then for many isolated places, communications still go via satellite.

Even Sputnik was faked. Which was interesting because lots of people including me heard the 20 mhz beep beep beep right after that fateful day, October 4th 1957.

Just over ten years ago I worked for a hotel, and all international calls and internet services was routed via satellite (I was one of those responsible for making sure the ground equipment connected to the dish stayed in service). I don't know if they still use satellite or have switched to fibre. I do know that Livingstone has had a fibre backbone for internet for a number of years. It is probable that the local phone companies also moved to fibre for international services.

He couldn't possibly be that stupid.
Here in Africa, satellite TV is pretty much standard. Nearly every building has a dish on it.
