A new version of the ZOLEO App containing a device software update has been released to the Apple App store and Google Play store. This release contains performance optimizations and minor bug fixes.
We hope you’re enjoying your ZOLEO experience! While you’ve been out in the backcountry, we’ve been hard at work on some terrific new features. We couldn’t wait to tell you about them.
Track Monthly Message Usage
Ever wonder how much of your monthly message allocation you’ve used? We thought so, that’s why we’ve introduced automated timely updates on your satellite message usage. You’ll know how many you’ve used, approximately how many remain and manage usage if you’re concerned about overage charges.
Here's how it works:
Notifications are sent to the account owner’s email and directly to the application of the user who is currently linked in the ZOLEO app. You’ll also be able to reply to a ZOLEO app notification message allowing you to add more messages to your current plan (see details under Top Up bundles). You can also add a top-up bundle at any time by logging in to your ZOLEO account.

Top Up Your Satellite Messages
Add extra satellite messages any time, even while off-the grid, to avoid overage fees. All you have to do is respond to the notification in the ZOLEO app to add a one-time top up of messages while in satellite coverage.
Add a one-time top up bundle of additional messages to supplement those included with your monthly plan:
- 20 Messages
- 75 Messages
The additional messages will be available for the remainder of the billing cycle. Since this bundle is a one-time addition, there is no need to cancel it. Top up bundles can also be added by logging in to your ZOLEO account.
