Sorry but is is definitely a scam. The concept of soldiers needing a special phone for personal calls exists only in the minds of scammers along with leave having to be paid for. There's more about this particular scam here at viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6529

As Arnold said, there is no doubt this is a scam.
-The email does not come from a legitimate telecom company.
-A real soldier would not need an expensive satellite phone to be able to call you--the US military makes sure that soldiers can connect with their loved ones.
-The name "Colonel Pamela Jones" has come up many times before. You will see this name associated with other scams listed here at scamwarners. There is a group of scammers who use the fake Colonel Pamela Jones with all of their military phone scams, though their email addresses change all the time as they are closed down for fraud.
There are other things too, but I will stop here for now as it is already 100% certain this is a scam.

What this means is that the man you are talking to is not real. The letters are being sent to you by an African scammer, not by an American soldier.

The best thing you can do is cut off all contact with this scammer immediately. Do not answer his emails, or better yet, filter them to trash. If he calls you, don't answer or hang up. Block him from your messenger accounts. He will likely continue to proclaim his innocence and declare his love for you--these are all lies intended to get you to keep in contact with him so that he can get money from you later.

It is often tempting to confront him with the truth to try to get him to admit to being a scammer, and make him feel bad for how much he has hurt you. It is best not to do this. These scammers are incapable of empathy, and all they do is tell more lies. Even if they "confess" they tell more lies. He may act romantic, caring, and sympathetic, but the truth is, to him, you are nothing more than a foolish woman who is simply a way for him to get money he hasn't worked to earn. (This is not true--but this is how scammers really see their victims.) He doesn't care if you lose your house and your family, as long as he gets his money. If you confront him with the things that prove he is a scammer, then you are likely teaching him how to improve his scamming for the next victim.

Thank you for this as i nearly did send some money, ive sent him pictures and everything, i feel such a fool. I believed in everything he said to me.

Thank you for help

is name is lt tim donnelly

Can you post his email address, and if you still have them, some of the early emails he sent you?

Scammers are quite lazy, and they frequently use scripts (a series of prewritten emails) over and over again, even after they change names. Posting them can help the next victim to quickly identify a scammer.

My love, my heart, my soul is my gift to you
Your smile, your love is the only reward I would want

Precious, like a gem made by angels to shine forever
Releasing the passion inside me that burns for you
Intertwining our destinies, so that we two soul mates
Now and forever, can live out our hopes and dreams
Creating our own bond of life, to overcome the challenges
Explore the mysteries, and to enjoy life as it should be
Sharing the peace and love, that everyone looks for
So in the end I want nothing, because I have everything I need
