Maurice and all,

It is consistent with what I read the other day in Chinese though no exact service date. The article is misleading that China Space Company (The service provider in China) is a part of China Unicom.

Globalstar To Connect To China Telecom Land Network

(12/16/1999) China­Ýs top two telecom companies signed an agreement on Dec. 14 in Beijing to connect China Unicom­Ýs Globalstar mobile phone customers to China Telecom­Ýs vast fixed line network, the Dec. 15 Beijing Qingnian Bao (Beijing Youth Daily) reported.


Globalstar is an international satellite communications consortium founded by Loral Space & Communications in 1991. Subscribers can make phone calls across the globe using Globalstar­Ýs network of 48 low-earth-orbiting satellites.

The system's patented CDMA (code division multiple access) technology allows more efficient use of existing radio bandwidth. It also features call support by multiple satellites simultaneously, enabling users to communicate seamlessly while traveling.

Maurice, thanks for clearing that up. Your post caught my attention because I'm fairly familiar with the G* batteries and wasn't aware of such an issue with them.

For all you late Christmas shoppers out there. A G* phone would make a great stocking stuffer.
