satellite mobile phones
 

Anyone here use a satellite mobile phone or know of people who use these phones? I am looking at getting an Iridium Motorolla 9505 or a GlobalStar Qualcomm 1600 phone + plan.

If anyone uses either of these or any other satellite mobile phone please let me know your experiences. Are they reliable? Are the coverage maps accurate and is coverage 100% full time or just partial?

cheers,
Luke
