Re: Making or receiving a call

Interesting info at com-sat.com which I was not previously aware of:

To receive an incoming Globalstar call the Globalstar antenna must be in the deployed position.

While this does make sense technically, it also seems to imply that for all practical purposes once you are outside of a cellular coverage area the phone is for outbound calling use only. Can anyone who has used one of these phones comment on this? I can't imagine anyone carrying a G* phone with the sat antenna deployed and properly positioned on the off chance that an inbound call me be trying to find them.
