check out their International call rate sheet at project77.com and see how calls from South America to Japan are $10/min.

Did you even look at that webpage? Calls from South America (left column, Originating phone) to Japan are $7 a minute. (And if you were reading it backwards you woulda gotten $8 a minute.)

And if you're smart, you get an I* phone for both sides and ALL your calls are $3 a minute.

Anyway, it shows a bit of desperation at always using the maximum possible price and claiming thats what the price always is.

From Satellite warehouse International call rate sheet (see previous post):


  EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 1998 - ALL PRICES ARE IN U.S. DOLLARS
  A ONE-TIME ACTIVATION FEE OF $ 100.00 (PER SIM CARD) AND A MONTHLY USAGE   FEE OF $ 70.00 (PER SIM CARD) WILL APPLY, AND COVERS ALL STANDARD PHONE
  SERVICES.

Would someone explain this if it means something other than a monthly "retainer" for use of the phone beyond what the calls cost?
