  • Love this device/app!

    This is a fantastic device which works incredibly well. Love the features and functionality, especially the ability to get messages directly to my phone after the device is turned off.

    Two suggestions - (1) Allow an auto power on/off device firmware update. When using it in a vehicle it would be SUPER helpful if the device powered on when the vehicle gave power to the USB, then turned off when power was removed. So much easier than remembering to turn it on/off each time. (2) In a future device update, would be great to have the ability to use an external antenna (Standard TNC connector). This would allow the device to be slowed away and still be used.

    Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE this product and would buy it again in a heartbeat. I’m simply used to these features I mentioned on most Irirum types of products (I use this in the air) and would find these additions very, very helpful! Great work overall, a total winner even without these features!

  • Game changer

    Being an offshore commercial fisherman and relying on satellite phones for years, this has streamlined all communications and saved me hours. I love this device!
  • App crashes every time on my iPhone

    Every time I open app, it immediately crashes. It looks like I need to update the device software, but in order to do that, I need to open the app. I have the latest version of the app, it doesn’t work. I’m stuck, and I don’t see a solution expect to return the device or use it as a $200 paper weight. Zoleo, help please.

  • Peace of Mind

    I put this app and device to the test about a week ago. I went backpacking in a national forest that has no service whatsoever, and it delivered what ZOLEO said it would. I felt so much better knowing I had a way to update my family and keep in touch with them. Highly recommend this product.
  • It just works!

    I have used a lot of Iridium messenger devices, including the Garmin Inreach, and they are all quite clunky to set up and use. The Zoleo is in a different class. Very easy to set up, and then everyone can just text you on the device’s actual real phone number from any app they like. There is nothing complicated to explain to anyone, it just works. If your friends decide to use the Zoleo App it works even better (longer messages allowed) but they dont have to. Also you dont have to keep messing around with bluetooth settings, it stays connected but still manages to get huge battery life. Great product and app.

  • Love It!

    I’m an avid camper and hiker. Many places I camp/go don’t have reliable cell service. I used to have a sat phone through Iridium to stay in touch and for emergencies. However, it was difficult to ever get anyone to answer my calls because the sat number showed up on caller ID as an international number. Texting on the phone was super slow because it was like a 90’s keypad.

    I saw the add for Zoleo and decided to give it a shot. It uses the Iridium sat network which is the absolute best in the world. There are a few other devices on the market that use a far inferior network. I can now reliably send text messages via satellite anywhere in the world. I can also send a man SOS signal to search and rescue with my exact location. I can even text to them with my status.

    Overall very pleased with the app and service.
