RS. You know considerably more about G* than I do, but I do not understand why you think Dealer would not be able to make a G* call without Aruba's agreement. (Actually, from my understanding of the Iridium system I can't see that being a problem for them either, though I remember a bit about the Cramer incident you cite). Dealer will pull up her antenna and talk directly to all of the 3 or 4 satellites which are within view and they will relay down to Clifton Texas (I presume--I don't know if that service center in southern Mexico or the other one on the isthmus are complete yet). So I can't imagine how Aruba (which precise geographic location I am fuzzy about) would prevent her calls short of confiscating the phone. The assumption that Clifton is the only station within 1500 or 2000 miles probably means not all 3 or 4 satellites within her range will also be within range of the nearest operating service center (gateway).
