>I'm curious about the cost of these European calls. Can you fill >us in? What do you pay for "local" calls, France to Germany, >incoming, etc.? This is a very hard one. It depends so much of the operator, which we have many in each country, and we must have 30-40 countries by now (and the number keeps increasing as the ex-Soviet and Balkans get more, well, balkanized). Also one operator has many different payschemes and offers, which each typically has different prices on different hours of the day/weekdays. Just to give an example I called one operator and they have (one of their schemes, peak hours) national mobile to fixed 37c a minute, national mobile to mobile curiously much less at 13c a minute and to Germany 81c a minute. - rajala BTW I know why you are asking. Answer is no, satellite phones will not be able to compete.
