I already have an account with Globalstar and one with Verizon.

Any one have any experience with this.

I don't think that would work. I don't think satellite phones are compatible with cellular networks. I checked the model you mention and I don't see anything about it working with the cellular networks. What source are you referring to that told you this is possible?
