Activating Cellular Service on your Globalstar phone
The Globalstar GSP-1600 handheld phone operates in two cellular modes, 800 MHz CDMA digital cellular, and 800 MHz AMPS analog cellular. While these are industry standard technologies, compatible cellular service is not available in all areas, and some providers limit the equipment they will activate on their system. The cellular portion of the handset is identical in operation to the QUALCOMM QCP-860 cellular phone, which may be familiar to your local cellular provider.
Of course, your Globalstar phone will operate in satellite mode within our coverage area virtually anywhere you can see the sky. If you wish to add cellular service to your handset, please consult your local cellular providers to determine technical compatibility. Once cellular service has been successfully loaded on your Globalstar phone, you will have separate cellular and satellite phone numbers and bills.
Globalstar: the world's only satellite AND cellular phone.
The Globalstar handset is three phones in one with built-in technology to easily access 800 MHz CDMA cellular, analog cellular, and the Globalstar digital satellite system. While in Globalstar preferred mode and with the satellite antenna down, Globalstar automatically searches for a connection to the local analog or digital CDMA cellular networks. If cellular services are unavailable, just lift the Globalstar system antenna, and the phone will automatically seek the Globalstar satellite network.
The Difference Between a Cellular Call and a Globalstar Satellite Call
Globalstar satellite service is specifically designed for use in locations where traditional phone networks are unavailable or unreliable. For example, inside a building or in an urban city, you could use standard cellular phone service. When at work or play in a remote area, just pop up the Globalstar satellite antenna for access to Globalstar.

Never miss a call!

Here's a helpful tip. If your cellular service provider offers "No Answer Call Forwarding", you should consider forwarding your unanswered calls to your Globalstar satellite number. If you're outside of the cellular service area, and in Globalstar mode, you can then answer calls to your cellular number using the Globalstar satellite network. If your Globalstar phone is off or not in Globalstar mode, and you use Globalstar Voicemail, callers to your cellular number can then leave a message for retrieval at your convenience.
