Globalstar is the only mobile satellite operator launching spare satellites for the existing network, and building a new generation satellite constellation, scheduled to begin deployment in 2010. With the successful launch of eight spare satellites in 2008, along with their existing satellite network, Globalstar will continue to provide and support two-way voice and data satellite services to the customers through the launch of the second-generation constellation. However, there will be gaps in satellite availability depending on where you are and when you attempt to place a call until Globalstar’s Second Generation satellite network is launched in 2010-11. The following are the best Globalstar service plans you can find on the market today:

Customers who plan to use Globalstar service primarily outside the US/Canada/Caribbean Home Service Area can now subscribe to the Traveler Plan which provides a lower and more predictable rate plan. For only $750, use up to 750 minutes anywhere Globalstar offers service. Minutes are debited from your annual pre-payment of $750 based on usage in specified areas. Use your airtime anytime within twelve months. Need more minutes? Buy additional minutes anytime, or continue to use your phone for $1.99 per minute.

Liberty Pooled Minutes: Customers can now pool the Liberty Plan minutes across multiple phones. This is a great advantage to customers that may have heavy users that use the majority of the minutes while the light users use a minimum amount of minutes. The Liberty plans are great for seasonal or emergency management customers that may only use the phones during short periods because the Liberty plan minutes are good for use anytime during the year. Each phone would need to be subscribed to the same Liberty plan billed to the same account. An example is if you have ten phones each with the Liberty 600 plan you have available 6000 pooled minutes to use anytime during the year. When pooling minutes each phone must be subscribed to its own separate Liberty plan. All phones must be subscribed to the same type of Liberty plan.

Enhanced Services such as call forwarding and live customer care are FREE.

Activation Fee of $50.00 to be charged upon activation of phones.
