Done! $50/mo in what's left of 2007. $40/mo in 2008. $20/mo in 2009 and
2010. UNLIMITED AIRTIME TO ANY PHONE IN THE US AND CANADA INCL PR.
Reasonable rates to other places.

And, you can carry it in your car and use it at home, too!

Really cheap satphone for coastal USA/Canada and most of the Caribbean.
Look at the maps.

Anybody who can afford to feed those outboard monsters can afford a
satphone from Globalstar, now.


Globalstar has been getting poor reports from those who have used it,
frequent disconnections being the most common complaint. Most folks
seem to prefer Iridium. It's more expensive but apparently a lot more
reliable. I have no first hand experience with either.
