Satellite Communication Zoleo How to use SOS and messaging. Overlanding Australia, Wayne Groomes
@JJCommunication
Very happy with the Zoleo SOS messaging device. Thanks for watching.
Good review of it. I saw a review when they first came out last year from all things ive read they seem like a great thing to have especially when travelling with no service
Easy to use, reliable and inexpensive.
I've had mine since last July and absolutely love it. My job takes me out of cell contact daily, and my vacations are routinely to areas with no coverage. I have elderly parents and this way I can check in on them. AWESOME PIECE OF MIND!!
It sure is.
As always a very informative video. Thanks mate.
Thanks Di
Great review. Just got one, also had to do the firmware update so the weather option would work. Very happy so far. Still getting comfortable with the texting, etc... Happiness! Need it for a two week solo canoe trip. Fingers crossed...... 😏
Glad you liked it
thank you for share your video
Appreciate your comment Robert. Glad you liked it.
to find out how long it will hold charge just run it from full when you are home, two three texts a day to mimic away use and when it's flat you have a base line of how long, cheers
Yep sounds like a good idea. Have thought about doing that just haven’t got there yet. Will do it at some point.
Nice review Wayne
Thanks
the accent, delightful!
Lol thanks
Hey Wayne, they've come down in price, I paid $ 199 from Amazon, And my service is $20 a month.
Yep. I’ve gone to a satellite phone
You have to pay a service ??? Bruuh
That update got me worried ! Because in a situation of emergency is not the time to be updating so what other brands can I get that doesn’t need updates, Foreal
I don't believe you will find a piece of electronics with software that will never need an update. Lmk if I'm wrong
HI. I just got mine today and the battery health is indicated by the colour of the LEDs. It's shown on the info Quick Start Guide under the Device LED Description panel
Yep. I’ve changed to a satellite phone now.
Check your phone. It tells you your battery level on your phone that's paired with your device
Okay thanks
Great review. Is it possible to text from one zoleo to another Zoleo device directly. In other words let’s say you live in a major city and there’s a disaster that shuts down all power and cell towers. In that scenario can you send and receive texts directly without cell phone towers on either end? Thank you 🙏🏻
On my device, in the app it tells me the battery. This may be a new update
What is the monthly bill ?
Will any text sent first use 'cell service' if available therefore avoiding any price per text associated with the Basic Zoleo service?
Yes
do you need wifi to use with your phone?
No
Looks like I have to RTFM. Grrr... Yet another video that doesn't tell me the basics. What do the lights mean, how do I connect with bluetooth, I've created an account and activated the device (why does it say its not activated), what operations require the cellphone vs not, ...
Sorry WM.
