Enter the Garmin inReach, Spot and Zoleo.
Depending on the make and model, you’ll either use your satellite messenger alongside your smartphone, as a standalone piece, or choose between the two. As expected, these capabilities correspond to price: the one-way spot gen4 ($150) is a simple standalone
device
with an interface limited to just a few buttons (i. E. , no screen). Moving up the list, you get barebones two-way messengers like the bivy stick and zoleo, which can send sos signals on their own but must be paired with a smartphone for most other functions.
Finally, splurging for a high-end satellite messenger with a screen and push-button interface (like the garmin inreach mini 2 ) gives you the best of both worlds: you can carry out most functions from either the device or your smartphone.
Such as zoleo , garmin inreach/messenger or acr bivy stick, which communicate on the iridium network or spot devices that use the global star network. These are all in low earth orbit ‘leo’. When sos is activated from these devices it is received via a 3rd party 24/7 emergency call centre (usually in the us) and relayed to the relevant local emergency operations centre, such as amsa (australian maritime safety authority) in canberra. Apart from using different satellite networks, the main difference for us as consumers, is that devices like zoleo , allow us to communicate two-way with friends, family or emergency services.
Satellite messengers vary in their capabilities. Some, but not all units like the spot x (which includes a qwerty keyboard) are capable of two-way text messaging. Other units capable of two-way text messaging include garmin’s inreach® mini, inreach® mini 2, inreach explorer®+ and their inreach se®+. Garmin’s inreach explorer®+ and their inreach se®+ also include built-in base maps and can be used for gps navigation. Another type of satellite communication device is zoleo's global satellite communicator. Used in conjunction with a free app, this ingenious device enables you to use your cellphone for seamless global messaging, sos alerting and location awareness with 100% coverage over the earth's oceans and landmasses.
Zoleo enters a market with just two other brands: spot and garmin. Spot offers the spot x ( my review ), which i wouldn’t recommend. Garmin’s inreach service is available in four devices, with my favorite being the inreach mini ( my preview ) because it’s the lightest and least expensive option while still having all the functionality as the other units (assuming it’s paired to a smartphone). How does the zoleo stack up against the garmin inreach mini?.
What satellite communicator is right for you?

In recent years, satellite communicators have become a popular addition to peoples packs. There is no shortage of choice but rather than cover them all, i am going to compare a handful of the leading satellite communicators on the market, in no particular order.
