The ZOLEO satellite communicator is extremely affordable, and perfect for anyone who wants to stay connected and secure when travelling beyond mobile coverage zones.

How ZOLEO Works

Say Goodbye to Coverage Gaps!

ZOLEO sends and receives messages via the Iridium global satellite network when you’re outside of cellular coverage.

And seamlessly sends and receives messages via cellular or Wi-Fi when its available. You’ll never miss a message even if your ZOLEO device isn’t on!

Mobile App

Global 2-way messaging (text/SMS, email and app-to-app)

Global 2-way SOS

Check-in

On-demand accurate weather forecasts

Share location in every message

The free companion app offers access to all the awesome global messaging and safety features offered by ZOLEO. And it’s easy to use!

Tip: Invite key contacts to use the app to message you app-to-app and enjoy long message of 950+ characters and you’ll get their messages even if your ZOLEO communicator is turned off. (Contacts don’t need to own a ZOLEO device to message you via the ZOLEO App.)
