This is only hearsay. But someone told me that for Iridium phone to work
it need the satellite in direct visual line. That is it would not work if
you are in between skyscrapers, inside of the building etc. (It will work
in the middle of the Atlantic or Sahara). I want to emphasize that it is
only the story and I did not verify it (and not going to).<br>

Wal-Mart for $40, get an Iridium phone, you can use it anywhere in the

the middle of the Sahara desert, or, if your boat sinks in the middle of
the Atlantic, don't worry, your cordless Iridium phone will enable you to
still buy 1,000 of Mr. softy before the close. And, to top it off,
your wife is sure to love the new freedom the phone brings her.
Wonder why the stock has dropped from $60 to $5 in the last year?
Doesn't make sense! <br>
