Iridium Trade up Program

GlobalCom is offering the Iridium Trade up promotion in combination with other promotions currently being offered giving customers $800.00 worth of allowanced, rebates and FREE Airtime.

The purpose is to upgrade a portion of Globalstar customers while Globalstar is having service issues.  Globalstar has been an excellent and reliable product since 2001.  Late in 2006 Globalstar made GlobalCom aware there were gaps in coverage.  A gap in coverage occurs when an attempt is made to connect to the network, to make a call, and there is no functional satellite in view at the time.   Globalstar indicated that they were realigning the satellites to address this issue, and that the problem would be resolved in January 2007.  In February 2007, GlobalCom was informed that the problem was more significant and could be a long term issue.

When mission critical communications is needed you must have 100% reliability.  Lives could be at stake.  If this is the case you should consider switching to the reliable Iridium satellite phone.

Iridium is capitalizing on this issue offering a proven reliable product with first time connection rate of better than 99 percent.  Iridium is backing this up with the industries only Network Quality Guarantee, promising 100 percent customer satisfaction with Iridium’s service.

For a limited time receive $400.00 trade in for your Globalstar phone
and receive $300.00 worth of FREE Airtime.  Plus receive an Instant $100.00 rebate on the Iridium 9505A Satellite phone.  All the promotions combined gives Trade up customers a total benefit of $800.00 toward a NEW 9505A.

The $400 will be paid or credited within two to three weeks after GlobalCom receives your Globalstar phone. Any model Globalstar phone can be traded in, but it must be operational, meaning that it must power up and attempt to log on to the satellite.
