Globalstar:
the world's only satellite AND cellular phone.
The Globalstar handset is three phones in one with built-in technology
to easily access 800 MHz CDMA cellular, analog cellular, and the Globalstar
digital satellite system. With the satellite antenna down, Globalstar
automatically searches for a connection to the local analog or digital
CDMA cellular networks. If cellular services are unavailable, just lift
the Globalstar system antenna, and the phone will automatically seek the
Globalstar satellite network.
The
Difference Between a Cellular Call and a Globalstar Satellite Call
Globalstar satellite service is specifically designed for use in locations
where traditional phone networks are unavailable or unreliable. For example,
inside a building or in an urban city, you could use standard cellular
phone service. When at work or play in a remote area, just pop up the
Globalstar satellite antenna for access to the unparalleled reliability
and clarity of Globalstar.

miss a call! |
| Here's
a helpful tip. If your cellular service provider offers "No Answer
Call Forwarding", you should consider forwarding your unanswered calls
to your Globalstar satellite number. If you're outside of the cellular
service area, and in Globalstar mode, you can then answer calls to
your cellular number using the Globalstar satellite network. If your
Globalstar phone is off or not in Globalstar mode, and you use Globalstar
Voicemail, callers to your cellular number
can then leave a message for retrieval at your convenience. |
Activating
Cellular Service on you Globalstar phone
You can easily activate cellular service on your new Globalstar phone with
Verizon Wireless, Globalstar's preferred cellular carrier. In areas where
there is no Verizon Wireless coverage, refer to the attached table for an
alternate service provider. The cellular portion of your new Globalstar
phone operates on CDMA and analog 800MHz technologies. If CDMA service is
not available in your area, analog service will be adequate. Only certain
cellular carriers in your area support these services. Some states do not
offer compatible cellular service. Once cellular service has been successfully
loaded on your Globalstar phone, you will have separate cellular and satellite
phone numbers and bills.
