billvon 3,120 #28 August 30, 2002 >Are you using a cell phone while an aircraft is aloft? Nope, satellite phone. We had to use the cellphone to call the pilot's brother because we were in the air an extra 2 hours, so it wasn't available.

quade 4 #29 August 31, 2002 What kinda data rate are you getting out of the satellite phone? I remember checking into Iridium a few years back and the data rate was something horrible . . .
