MILPITAS, Calif., July 26, 2006/Satnews Daily/ ― Globalstar, Inc. has launched a new promotion in the United States that will effectively reduce the per minute rate charged for satellite airtime to as low as nine cents per minute, when customers activate a new phone on one of the company's highest usage satellite rate plans.
Globalstar said the limited time promotion comes at a time when the company prepares to ship its eight ground spares satellites to Europe for pre-launch testing, now that it has received export approval from the US government. During the promotion period, Globalstar is lowering the effective cost of airtime to new customers by providing them with an opportunity to receive up to 50 percent bonus airtime minutes, in addition to the standard bundled minutes they would normally receive when activating a satellite phone on one of the Globalstar annual or monthly airtime packages.
“With the launch of this special promotion and the middle of hurricane season almost upon us, now is the time for many people and businesses to consider taking a look at a satellite telephone for either emergency preparedness or increased productivity,” said Dennis Allen, senior VP of US Sales and Marketing for Globalstar, Inc. Allen added satellite telephone airtime rates are now beginning to become more affordable.
The Globalstar offer known as the Countdown and Load Up Promotion is available for a limited time and for all standard annual and monthly airtime packages to new customers in the United States. During the promotion, lower usage customers who activate on the company's most widely selected rate plan, will see the effective rate charged drop to 29 cents per minute.
