After launching its satellite, TerrStar-1, Terrestar in partnership with AT&T Mobility have announced that they are preparing to launch a hybrid phone. The hybrid phone is due to be launched later this year and will use the mobile GSM network from AT&T Mobility when available. When travelling outside of AT&T's GSM network, the phone will automatically switch to the Terrestar satellite.

When in Satellite mode, the phone can be used anywhere in the United States. Whether you are climbing the Rockies are exploring the desert in Arizona, you will have coverage.

The current GSM network coverage map for AT&T Mobility in the USA can be viewed here.
