DESCRIPTION
The Iridium®-based ZOLEO satellite communicator offers everything you need to stay connected and secure when venturing beyond cell coverage. The Zoleo operates on the same satellite system as the Garmin inReach.
With ZOLEO, you’ll enjoy seamless global messaging that follows you in/out of cellular coverage, and a personal safety system you can count on world-wide. Simply connect the lightweight, durable ZOLEO device with the free app on your phone or tablet to enjoy: 2-way global messaging and SOS alerting, check-in, DarkSky™ weather forecasts, the ability to share your GPS location, and more.
What makes ZOLEO a better global messaging solution, is that it seamlessly transmits messages via the Iridium satellite network when you travel beyond cell coverage, and via cellular or Wi-Fi® when it is available. With ZOLEO you’ll never miss an important message again!
The lightweight ZOLEO device features a long-lasting battery and durable, dust- and water-resistant design. Safety features like built-in SOS alerting and check-in buttons can be used standalone from the device, or via the free ZOLEO App. Together with the free app ZOLEO offers a familiar texting experience from your phone or tablet and great value for your dollar. Compatible accessories allow it to be secured on a backpack, belt, or in a vehicle, vessel, or cabin, so you can rely on it wherever you go.
ZOLEO is a perfect connectivity solution for anyone that lives, works or plays on the fringe of mobile coverage – use it to enjoy coverage everywhere, lowest-cost message routing and a familiar ‘text’ messaging experience from your phone or tablet.

SPECS
The Zoleo is a cool gadget - it operates on the same satellites as the industry-leading inReach, but at a fraction of the price. Subscription plans come in at $25 per month, but provided you buy 3 months, you can pause your subscription in the off-season.
As a two-way messenger, this is perfect. The app works great and we love the dedicated phone number that you can give out. If you need mapping functions, opt for something else, though.
