Iridium GO! Best Features, Settings, Apps and Simple to Follow Instructions

[@perfectsense3240]

Just used this during a 300 mile sailing race. Great product once you get it fired up and have all the apps downloaded.

[@BravoKiloZulu]

You have more money than sense. Get a radio ffs. The price of this thing is BRUTAL. The plan prices I mean, the handset isn't that bad, nor is the Go!.

[@perfectsense3240]

@@BravoKiloZulu You have neither money nor sense. When you’re offshore and looking for wind speed, weather ahead, and want to make contact with a team back home, a radio does literally nothing for you. You’re outside of your depth, chief.

[@KandiKlover]

@@perfectsense3240 No he's not, there are plenty of teams that use an SSB instead of satellite. Granted it's a massive PITA and not reliable sometimes, I myself personally prefer this and a 9555 phone but radio is a valid option.

[@roopinderpalsinghrandhawa9846]

Why is there background music in the test call? It defeats the purpose.

[@pondbearflyer1193]

👍👍

[@BravoKiloZulu]

You had me until I saw what my local Iridium provider charges. $20 per minute sat phone to sat phone, $2 per minute to everything else, $0.55c per 155 character SMS, and data is charged as if it is a call, meaning if you have bad coverage and the data transmission takes 10 minutes your 100 character email just cost you $20. You could run up a BRUTAL bill just keeping in touch with family with this thing. I think I'll stick to radio. It's free.

[@a3iuuu]

Please please please 🙏 no background music next time, thank you 🙂

[@markd.9422]

can the device be a simple internet hotspot like a wireless router to your phone?

[@BravoKiloZulu]

I wish, that'd be useful. But no.

[@KandiKlover]

Actually yes it can be. But I use direct wired to a rugged debian laptop instead.

[@reidtillery2856]

Do you have do you have phone service on your smartphone to use iridium GO? Or can you just use the smartphone without any connection to a cell phone carrier, using Wi-Fi to download the app?

[@tman8899]

How do i check my own personal email while using the Iridium app? Do i need to setup mail forwarding for all my mails?

[@williamhill1552]

You need a flip up thing on other side to throw the signal back out there just a small dish flip up and turn it right

[@contractorfree4all326]

Has anyone had an issue connecting to the iridium Go with a iPhone 11 or newer. The Wifi will not stay connected.

[@fredstah714]

Does this required monthly subscription? If you don’t want monthly, can I just buy prepaid?

[@timdick825]

Yes you can pre-pay for a certain period with a certain # of minutes.

[@gilzuniga6692]

Can this be used on a jet airplane to do normal web surfing? Social media, etc.

[@David-vb8ih]

According to what he said in the begining of the video, that answer would be no.

[@ctaylor1655]

Great video!

[@brabrabo]

can create ssh connection over iridium go?

[@erictalman7533]

You can try but the latency would need to be increased in your connection so it can deal with the 2.4kbps dial up connection.

[@commandvideo]

why cant we simply get internet access by making a wifi hotspot

[@Mikeb8134]

Good stuff, thank you!

[@baptiste9017]

Is it possible to use another messaging apps like WhatsApp or slack ?

[@HealthWealthAndLove]

Can you answer this question Satellite Phone Store? 🤔

[@HealthWealthAndLove]

What about a browser and visit a website?

[@rickklingenstein8752]

I don't know about apps slack but WhatsApp is a spy app We have nothing to do with it since learning this Intel. Cover your tracks and stay off their radar. Good luck

[@baptiste9017]

Spy app can you develop ?

[@rickklingenstein8752]

@@baptiste9017 no that's not my area. Lol

[@free-Yozhik]

Могу через это устройства зайти на планшете или на телефоне зайти в браузер и посмотреть что захочу или зайти в скайп?

[@arunask7968]

good video bro

[@Halfpace52]

How heavy is the device? Is it suitable for backpacking?

[@erictalman7533]

Perfect for backpacking did 7 days backcountry with it.

[@kaptenkrok8123]

Do iridium sell your data?

[@SatellitePhoneStoreSanDiego]

No they do not and we dont give it to them when you sign up for service. You only give it to GEOs if you sign up for the included SOS services.

[@viharsarok]

@@SatellitePhoneStoreSanDiego That's what everybody says, lol.

[@Bboop4444plus]

What prevents Apple & Google etc. from shutting down the app & access like they did to Parler?

[@fbicontacted7690]

The music is obnoxious!!

[@SOLDOZER]

So far my Iridium Go is a total POS $750 brick. The app constant crashes, logs you out for no reason, and getting the unit to send a Wifi signal is an art form, 0 Sats in open areas with no trees or buildings for miles......on and on. 5 bars? LOL good luck!

[@bx7993]

I agree ,I haven’t had any of those same issues but for phone calls it’s horrible !

[@tommygun7702]

I’m thinking grabbing one of this bad boy ty

[@pepsiccolausa8857]

I bought one 2 years ago Nothing but problems. Send it back. Spend 3 days back and forth with them with 2 iPhones. It was a hit or miss. Ale stick with the old Satelite phone. Hopefully they worked all the bugs out

[@pondbearflyer1193]

Now, make one without the abnoxious music?

[@SatellitePhoneStoreSanDiego]

We have, check the channel and you will see the new videos.

[@sarahlynn8792]

[@rezanursaid]

Can using in Indonesia?

[@erictalman7533]

Yes you can use it Globally, just be sure to check your country restrictions.

[@PaulBKal]

Ridiculously slow internet. Often 20 or 30 minutes to get less than 100 k of weather data. Give me a break! Iridium Go = Iridium SLOW! Everything else is wayyyy quicker. Even HF paccar modem.

[@SatellitePhoneStoreSanDiego]

for a 100KB GRIB weather file, we time the Iridium go at 3-4 minutes with a good external antenna. It is not intended as a general internet connection. It's made to give us little connection and when used with Predict Wind Offshore we have really good results.

[@hunterroberts2260]

Why is this pos so slow and the software so bad

[@BravoKiloZulu]

Dude. Stop the music. This is bad.

[@gusm1695]

Awesome technology! However, seems complicated to operate for someone who isn't tech savvy. I'd like to give this to a friend but he's 75 years old. He'd probably get frustrated and not use it.

[@sheezy2526]

I'd say if you are in a position where you need a satphone or a device like this, you have to be tech savy. It is like how nobody should sails into the middle of the ocean without knowing at least the basics of surviving a disaster and repairs to whatever you are on.
