I had a non-internet enabled phone that could still send image data over the voice line. You can DO that?! Whoa. Too bad my cell takes nasty quality (and tiny!) pics. | |

I expect the phone acts as a modem to the satellite and then the satellite emails -- same concept as sending a text to a phone using email syntax. Never thought that much about it. The phone actually had an option to email out from the photo album thingy. I suppose I should clarify that it was a phone that had some ability to connect to a browser, but it wasn't a smart phone, and I didn't actually have a calling plan that allowed me to do it. I could text to an email address however, but I do think that happens at the satellite not at the phone. I could, however, be making stuff up. It's just the mental model I've been using. | |
