    1) Regarding Sat Signal Level. What are the max and min ranges? What do they tell? 2) If you dial a telephone number, could you reach any telephone number in the world that is existing? 3) How much does it cost if you want to use the SAT COM for telephone calls? I heard that using SAT telephones is very expensive. At least 10 US-Dollar per minute. Is that true or do airlines have special rates?

    In answer to 1), the Maintenance Manual and training notes inconveniently gloss over this detail. If all satellites had insufficient signal strength, the system would probably tell you. In answer to 2), yes, if that function is enabled in the software. I seem to recall a 4 digit password to override the security. In answer to 3), as a 747-400 maintenance engineer, I was warned of the U$10/min prices, so I guess no discounts for the airline.
