Hell not bad, that's faster than I type!

There's not much tech info I could find, only about the downlink not the uplink from the phone. How does a 5 watt maximum non-directed transmission get to a satellite reliably?

I've read about it and it's pretty interesting. I'd like to know more about the technical details of how that could work. You can pick up a satellite signal on a phone without much of a problem because it's a powerful transmitter but how does the return signal get to the satellite since it's a small device with a low-power transmitter designed for local communications? SAT phones usually are larger and have a much bigger external antenna so how can they do it on a normal smartphone is very interesting.

I rarely leave NYC so coverage hasn't been an issue for me with T-Mobile but it would be nice for hikers and global travelers to have access to that. Maybe some kind of new application would benefit from investment in new tech as well.

I prefer OLED devices.
