ZOLEO Satellite Communicator Review || Goes To 11

[@Zkpe02]

I carry my ZOLEO all the time, came in great during our power outages and spotty cellular service. I was able to text and Email family using the iridium satellite system with no problem....a great little device!

Awesome review Rick ! I believe this is going to be in my kit in the very near future . My one question is to send and receive message /text, is does the recipient have to also have the app or can I send receive from any of my phone contacts? Thanks for posting this review buddy!

Hi Ernie...thank you, I'm glad you liked it! It is a great device and definitely one people should have if they go out of cellular range! You can set the recipient from your contacts. From what I am learning, the device has its own number. So, in my case my wife could save the number as "Rick's ZOLEO" and she'd recognize the number right away from her contacts.

How come no one talks about the cell phone and wifi how does it operates?

[@GoesTo11]

The Zoleo device connects to the Zoleo app and gives you the ability to send text messages and emails from your cell phone, over the Iridium Satellite Network. The app provides you with weather warnings, and connects your text/emails to the Zoleo Network. It does not provide a WiFi signal, nor does it provide you voice communication. The connection to your phone is Bluetooth and is data only. If you have no cell phone or it broke while on your adventure, don't worry, the Zoleo Communicator still communicates with the Iridium Network when you press the SOS button that connects to Search And Rescue. It will tell the SAR Monitoring Station your GPS coordinates at time you pressed the button. We love this device, it is small, simple and very robust and effective!
