Introduction

The ZOLEO device is rugged, GPS location-aware, and based on Iridium satellites, and it connects to the free ZOLEO app on your smartphone or tablet to keep you connected when you’re outside of cell coverage. Monthly subscriptions are $20, $35, or $50 per month (25, 250, or limitless satellite messages), plus cellphone, Wi-Fi, and SOS texting. Suspend for only $4/month after the initial 3-month commitment. Plans are now offered in the United States, Canada, and Australia, but they work worldwide. Only ZOLEO provides your communications coverage to every corner of the globe, using the most cost-effective network available (satellite, cellular or Wi-Fi). To and from any SMS text number, email address, or another ZOLEO app user, ZOLEO provides a familiar text messaging experience.

Declaring an SOS ensures that your SOS alert and GPS coordinates are forwarded to an expert 24/7 emergency monitoring service if something goes wrong. Check-in to let others know you’re OK and the ability to include your GPS coordinates to any message are two further safety features. Location Share+ enables for automatic location sharing at a set interval, as well as a map-viewable breadcrumb trail.
