Globalstar Service Advisory
Please note that Globalstar is currently upgrading their satellite constellation which has resulted in drastically reduced service levels. During this period, Globalstar satellite phones will have difficulty connecting and will experience significant delays without being able to obtain a signal and a higher occurrence of dropped calls. If your communication needs require that your satellite phone be able to have continuous coverage, Iridium Satellite service is highly recommended. These Globalstar conditions should slightly improve with the launch of new satellites in Fall 2009 and upgrades are expected to be completed by Summer 2010.
The QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1600 Portable Tri-Mode Satellite Phone meets the needs of cellular users who may be in areas where cellular coverage is either unavailable or inaccessible.

Product Description
The QUALCOMM Globalstar GSP-1600 Portable Tri-Mode Satellite Phone meets the needs of cellular users who may be in areas where cellular coverage is either unavailable or inaccessible. The phone easily switches from terrestrial cellular telephony to satellite telephony as required. A caller has three choices on how to make a call:
- A digital call (CDMA (IS-95))
- An analog call (AMPS (IS-41) cellular systems
- A Globalstar Communications system call (when digital and analog are not available)
This gives the caller greater flexibility and a way of keeping charges low. The caller only pays for Globalstar service when he needs it.
