    Just used this during a 300 mile sailing race. Great product once you get it fired up and have all the apps downloaded.

      You have more money than sense. Get a radio ffs. The price of this thing is BRUTAL. The plan prices I mean, the handset isn't that bad, nor is the Go!.

      @@BravoKiloZulu You have neither money nor sense. When you’re offshore and looking for wind speed, weather ahead, and want to make contact with a team back home, a radio does literally nothing for you. You’re outside of your depth, chief.

    You had me until I saw what my local Iridium provider charges. $20 per minute sat phone to sat phone, $2 per minute to everything else, $0.55c per 155 character SMS, and data is charged as if it is a call, meaning if you have bad coverage and the data transmission takes 10 minutes your 100 character email just cost you $20. You could run up a BRUTAL bill just keeping in touch with family with this thing. I think I'll stick to radio. It's free.

    Ridiculously slow internet. Often 20 or 30 minutes to get less than 100 k of weather data. Give me a break! Iridium Go = Iridium SLOW!
    Everything else is wayyyy quicker. Even HF paccar modem.

    • @SatellitePhoneStoreSanDiego
      @SatellitePhoneStoreSanDiego  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      for a 100KB GRIB weather file, we time the Iridium go at 3-4 minutes with a good external antenna. It is not intended as a general internet connection. It's made to give us little connection and when used with Predict Wind Offshore we have really good results.

      I'd say if you are in a position where you need a satphone or a device like this, you have to be tech savy. It is like how nobody should sails into the middle of the ocean without knowing at least the basics of surviving a disaster and repairs to whatever you are on.
