My Qualcomm GSP-1600 G* handset worked extremely well. When I would call someone to "test" it, I typically called the person first from my Sprint PCS handset, because : I wanted to make sure I would get to talk to a human, instead of an answering machine. I was already standing outside. and I have free long distance with Sprint PCS. I think every single time, when I was calling via Globalstar satellite, the person I had called told me "this sounds better than Sprint PCS." Some told me that it sounded like a land line (not everyone; the call quality does vary). I never used my G* phone outside of Florida (although I did lend it to a group that took it to Afghanistan for a brief period. It turned out that they had normal cell phone coverage where they were. But, they felt better knowing they had sat. phone "back-up"), so ... I don't know about this mountain stuff. Unless you are in some crazy canyon type situation, I do not think it would be a problem. Jon. P.S. My G* handset is now lent to a relative of mine.
