Default Any experiences using satellite phones please? (Iridium vs Gstar)


Just one point which must be emphasized. Neither company provides
service indoors except in those areas served by cellular service and
then it takes a dual band phone. A friend of mine used Iridium and
found so many places it didn't work that he ended up dropping it.
Can't speak to Gstar, but without proof to the contrary, I'd expect it
to be the same.

Thanks for the info-just to clarify since you put both comments in the
same paragraph, are you saying that he had dropped calls because he
was trying to call from inside or that he was having dropped calls
regardless of calling from outside? It makes a difference on the
reliability then if it was while he was outdoors.
Thanks and I wanted to reply here instead of privately in case anyone
else if following although I'll shoot you an e-mail if you don't see
this.
