Good Afternoon Brian,
That handheld satellite phone sounds interesting. Would you be able to
expand on the availability and the costs involved in such a unit?

All of our cellular telephone technology (and in this I include PCS, 3G,
and EvDO) is based on relatively short-range radio technology. There has
to be a "cell tower" within about three miles to ensure service. If you
land where there is a cell tower within three miles you are already
where people are. If you land somewhere where you really need service
because there is no one around, you won't have cellular service.
No, you can't count on cellular service as a back-up. A hand-held
satellite phone is another story.
