Globalstar extends your reach.
Globalstar is a consortium of leading international telecommunications companies originally established in 1991 to deliver satellite telephony services through a network of exclusive service providers.
The Globalstar system is designed to provide high quality satellite-based telephony services to a broad range of users:
- Cellular users who roam outside of coverage areas
- People who work in remote areas where terrestrial systems do not exist
- Residents of under-served markets who can use Globalstar's fixed-site phones to
satisfy their needs for basic telephony
- International travelers who need to keep in constant touch
The Globalstar system offers a multitude of services:
- One phone for both cellular and satellite calls
- Voice Calling
- Short Messaging Service (SMS)
- Global Roaming
- Facsimile*
- Data Transmission*
| * Depending on the Globalstar Service Provider.

Globalstar's constellation of 48 Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites transmits calls from
your Globalstar wireless phone or fixed phone station to a terrestrial gateway, where they
are passed on to existing fixed and cellular telephone networks in more than 100 countries
on 6 continents.
As a wholesaler, Globalstar sells access to its system to regional and local telecom service providers around the world. These Globalstar partners in turn, form alliances with additional providers. This lets Globalstar leverage the marketing, operating and technical capabilities of the world's premier communications service providers.
By extending their reach, Globalstar complements terrestrial networks, rather than competing with them, opening up markets and bringing telephony to entirely new areas of the world.
Ultimately, the caller benefits because his final service provider understands the local market and provides optimal service for the area.
How to Buy
Globalstar service and phones are sold through regional providers who handle all sales, mar-keting and distribution within their respective territories. Globalstar's regional partners are among the leading telecommunications providers in the world.
Pricing and availability will vary from country to country and region to region. For formation on pricing plans, cost of phones, availability of services offered by your Globalstar service provider, please select your region and country from the list below.
