Globalstar Service Plans Lowered Globalstar no commitment service plans. It costs $25 to switch plans.
PSN's Globalstar $99-Lease is still open--$99 down and $99/month for a year, send for details. http://www.skyhelp.net/$99_lease.htm Globalstar in Alaska Globalstar now covers Alaska http://www.skyhelp.net/globalstar.htm. Since it is on the "fringe" your cover is a bit less that in the central parts of North America. Please check out the map on our web site, you'll see the coverage is superior to anything else. Because it is a Low-Earth Orbit system, the satellites are in the sky, not on or below the horizon. Hurricane Season Near With the fall hurricane season almost here, remember PSN rents satellite telephones. However if you wait till the last minute you will be competing with everyone else. It would be better to lease units over the term of the season rather than pay spot prices during a storm. PSN Patent Application PSN has received a Provisional Patent on its device "Telephone Data/Satellite Data Converter". This device allows the connection of any typical telephone data device to a satellite unit with no modifications to the telephone unit. This allow a customer add satellite service to whatever part of their operation, without having to modify any of the original telephone based devices. Testimonials Dennis Frias, dfria@interconnect.net , 361-790-3935, of Mustang Ranch Yachts, TX sails the Gulf of Mexico with a PSN Globalstar rental unit with good results. We have the complete text of the article and the picture he took of a pod of dolphins chasing his ship. http://www.skyhelp.net/sailing_with_dolphins.htm http://www.skyhelp.net/sailing_the_gulf.htm Steve Black, steve@carib1500.com , 401-848-0302, has just finished testing the Globalstar handset on his sailing trip from Hampton to Bermuda. He had good results with the unit during the test. Full availability of the service will occur in August when the Puerto Rico Gateway opens. Steve is recommending Globalstar units for his Hampton-to-Virgin Islands Rally, the Carib 1500, this November. Yachtsman can rent a Globalstar satellite telephone for the Rally and then apply the rental fee toward the purchase at the end of the trip. Anna Stockel won the Single-Handed Sailor Race from San Franciso to Hawaii with a PSN Sat-Trac unit on board. I am sure the satcom unit did not make the boat go faster, but the many emails she sent and received may have helped her spirits. Her friends were also able to track her progress on the web-based mapping system. |
