I would like to know, how does the Iridium Global Paging Service compare with existing paging operators that offer international service?

Thanks,

I would like to know, how does the Iridium Global Paging Service compare with existing paging operators that offer international service?

Iridium is the first and only truly global paging service. Whether it is sold as a stand-alone service or in conjunction with Iridium voice services, a subscriber may receive paging messages virtually anywhere on or above the surface of the earth, from remote areas like the ocean or poles to populated metropolitan areas.

The users may receive up to 150 pages per month. A maximum of five messages can be sent by the Web site or e-mail, every 10 minutes to a single Iridium paging subscriber. The maximum message length is 160 character. DoD users are limited to 120 character message length.

I hope this helps.
