onair stuff March 05, 2010, 11:05:10 am Yahoo Message Number: 110772Hi, searching and reading and finding out out stuff...always interesting reading about LD's....someday! sigh... Since I know some of you have Satellite phones... A friend called my yesterday from way far west Texas middle of nowhere on his sat phone... lost the connections after a few minutes, tho.... the satellites move, signal lost... no biggie, I'll just call him. Found out a few things... Calling in the US from his phone was free, he gets minutes each months. Had to look up how to call a sat phone, seems I need International access. Called Verizon, no problem the access is free. But... depending which country owns the satellite you happen to be using right then, air time can cost between $5 - $6 a MINUTE or more. Which ever country owns the sat can charge whatever they want. If I happen to use a US sat, no problem, but otherwise a very large bill.Hope y'all have a great weekend! mary
