RS,

<How do you get a monthly bill of 60$ with zero calls? The monthly rate with no bundled minuts is 25$, right? >

You bring up a good point. What can a prospective customer of Globalstar expect to pay and what are they getting for their dollar, kiwi buck, etc?

-Is the minute price $1.69 for sat time only, with standard cellular rates in effect when in digital / analog mode?

-Does a cellular call drop when out of cell range, requiring the caller to re-dial via the satellite mode?

-Are two separate phone numbers still needed, one for cell and one for sat mode?

-Are there other billing surcharges tacked onto calls like there are with cellular, i.e.: roaming, long distance, etc?

I've been reading this board for 4 years and still don't understand how this system really operates and it appears many others here are just as confused. Another sign of a poor marketing and sales implementation?
