* satellitephones.net * Seems they were not quite official. I heard from a good source that they were not bona fide and were perhaps more interested in getting a schedule of names. Whatever the true story was there, Globalstar distribution planning continues in the real world of Globalstar on a professional basis. I've filled in the form and the system seems to work. globalstar.com Globalstar needs a few more links in their url globalstar.com so that people wanting to buy handsets or act as distributors or service providers can find the 'for sale' url easier. Where handsets are described, a click on the handset should take visitors to the url where they can be a buyer or seller. Also, I heard the marine phones are looking good. A cute little aerial to act as a 'status symbol' for any self-respecting yachtie/boatie. Robert, to answer your question, yes, if you are in a CDMA zone, your Globalstar handset will first look for terrestrial service at normal terrestrial rates [depending on agreement between the Globalstar service provider in the area and the local terrestrial provider]. When in the bush, Globalstar will handle the call. Same for GSM areas. There seem to be several mobile handsets coming on stream. Single mode Globalstar, tri mode CDMA/analog/Globalstar and GSM/Globalstar. Plus marine, plus fixed phone box types. The pictures in Q! url and Globalstar url don't match. Maybe one is the 'beta model' to be upgraded or something. The Q! model looks clunky and I was told is the tri-mode handset, but the handset in the Globalstar url is also described as the tri-mode handset. Somebody is still wrong. Maybe there are two tri-mode Q! handsets. Maurice
