David Jones

in Using My ZOLEO Device

ZOLEO can be used to send and receive messages from other satellite communications devices. This article details which devices ZOLEO can message with and any limitations. Please note, improvements will be made in future updates. 

Garmin inReach

inReach SMS

Status: Fully functional

Garmin inReach devices may send SMS messages to the ZOLEO device dedicated SMS number by using the international format (i.e. +1(areacode)(phonenumber)), and the ZOLEO device can reply to the SMS message. Important note: The Garmin inReach does not have a dedicated SMS phone number, so it must initiate the first message to the ZOLEO device for a two-way SMS conversation.


inReach Email

Status: Partial functionality

Garmin inReach devices may send an email message to the @zoleo.com email address. ZOLEO is unable to respond to the message for two reasons: 1) inReach devices do not have a dedicated email address and 2) inReach email messages rely on a reply link that is inaccessible to ZOLEO users. Email communication with inReach devices is not recommended.


Globalstar SPOT X

SPOT X SMS

Status: Fully functional

The SPOT X is able to message the ZOLEO device dedicated SMS number using the international format (i.e. +1(areacode)(phonenumber)). ZOLEO users are able to reply as well because the SPOT X utilizes a dedicated SMS number. This method of communication is two-way. ZOLEO device users are able to message SPOT X devices directly at anytime using the format +1(area code)(phone number).
