The ZOLEO™, satellite communicator is affordable for small or large businesses working in remote locations, the perfect business solution for anyone who wants to stay connected and secure when travelling beyond mobile coverage. Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the Australian outback, ZOLEO uses the Iridium® global satellite network to send and receive messages via your smartphone. ZOLEO connects via Bluetooth® to the free companion app to your tablet – smartphone so your employees can stay safe and connected.
ZOLEO is designed to work with your phone or tablet, extending your messaging coverage to everywhere on Earth by transmitting messages over the Iridium satellite network when you’re beyond mobile coverage zones, and via cellular or Wi-Fi when available.
It is perfect for messaging connectivity in the Australian Outback, on remote roads, on the oceans, in the Polar Regions, or anywhere in the world where cellular coverage is unavailable or unreliable.
When your ZOLEO device is turned off and another ZOLEO App user sends you a message, the message will still be delivered via the ZOLEO App on your phone or tablet.
This is a bit unique. Other satellite communicators only deliver messages when the device is on and connected to the satellite network.
When the device is used standalone, without the app, ZOLEO supports check-in and SOS alerting via the built-in buttons.
ZOLEO needs to be Bluetooth connected with the ZOLEO App on your phone or tablet for two-way messaging, two-way SOS, to receive DarkSky weather forecasts or to share your GPS location in any message.
Just like your mobile phone, ZOLEO needs an active service plan in order to transmit messages via the Iridium satellite network.
Unlike mobile network providers, with ZOLEO you have the option to suspend your plan when it’s not in use, and you can also change or cancel plans online when needed.
Activation fees: A $40 activation fee applies when activating your ZOLEO device.
Monthly fee: After the initial 3-month term, your subscription will auto-renew monthly until suspended or cancelled. The total minimum cost of your service throughout your term can be calculated by taking your monthly plan fee x 3 months, plus the one-time activation fee and does not include any excess usage chargers which may be incurred by the user.
Suspension: After your initial 3-month term, you may suspend your plan when not in use for just $6.50 per month. While suspended, your account remains active and preserves your ZOLEO email address and SMS number, but your device will not transmit messages, including SOS alerts. Suspensions are limited to once per monthly bill cycle. Unsuspend online anytime with no activation fee.
Basic Plan $32 x 3 months + $40 activation fee = $136.
In Touch Plan $55 x 3 months + $40 activation fee = $205.
Unlimited Plan $80 x 3 months + $40 activation fee = $280.
Yes, it is easy to lend ZOLEO to a friend or colleague. When you do, your dedicated ZOLEO SMS number and email are associated with the device, and whomever is connected to it at the time.
Any usage will be associated with your ZOLEO monthly plan and decremented or charged accordingly.
If your ZOLEO device is no longer being used and will not be used for an extended period of time, you may wish to cancel your monthly plan until a later time. To cancel your monthly plan, you’ll need to visit the ZOLEO website and log in to your account from your smartphone, tablet, or computer web browser.
