This is a great product, just keep in mind that the Thuraya satellite constellation's footprint doesn't cover the Western Hemisphere. It is a good option for Asia, Europe, Australia, and central and northern Africa.

There is a RAM mount for the inReach. You can see it here: http://www.ocens.com/inReach-SE-Vehicle-Mount-P578C128.aspx. In my opinion, gutting the inReach would be a lot more difficult (if even possible), because of its construction.

Great mod!

That's really clever. I like your application! :bigok:

You are absolutely right. Can you tell me more about how you've integrated your GO with your onboard PBX?

I know what you mean. It also disrupted some of our services for a while, so it even caught us by surprise. That said, in my experience, very few people use the email to text, so that's probably why it didn't cause much of a ripple.

I can agree with most of this. However, the email to text option you mention was shut down by Iridium a while ago. You can still use the web interface, or we developed a smartphone app, called SatMS, that messages to any satellite phone number from your smartphone for free. A caller can always...

The GO and the handheld phones have the same relative reception. The GO can tend to be more stable, because you are typically setting it down and not holding it to your head like a handheld. Also, the antenna is stubbier, so it is less likely to get damaged like the long slender ones on the...

Matt, you can easily keep up on your email from any location in the world with simply an Iridium GO, your own smartphone, and our OneMail app. OneMail is the only app available that will allow you to access a gmail account directly via a satellite phone data connection. We also just recently...

In regards to the messaging, we developed an app, called OneMessage, that directly addresses this and is a huge step up from the messaging built into the GO app, or plain old SMS messaging over a satellite phone. It gives you private, client-to-client, secure messaging that works on any...

For anyone interested, the OneMail email app now supports sending photos directly from your smartphone and it highly compresses it but maintains a reasonably high image quality. On an Iridium handheld or GO it takes about 3 minutes to transfer an 853x640 pixel image, whereas in the raw iphone...

Thanks for the feedback. We can actually get an Australian number for your Iridium phone as well. It just costs an additional $10 per month.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the regular app" so if you can clarify that I would appreciate it. OneMail is a new product that was designed to address the ability to access your actual email account directly on your smartphone/tablet via a low bandwidth satellite phone. A data call on an...

This is an email app specifically designed for low bandwidth satellite: http://www.ocens.com/OneMail-Satellite-Email-App-P756C27.aspx

The messaging app already exists, which you can see here: http://www.ocens.com/OneMessage-Satellite-Messaging-App-P712C132.aspx. The location notification capability is already built into the current satellite phones as well as the inReach. I was wondering if you could elaborate on when you...

Thank you for this post! It is refreshing to hear from someone who is well versed and experimented in the technology. In regards to the coverage via an external antenna, you will likely get similar or better results to that of when you have the phone outside. The handheld Iridium phones come...

This is a great question. What you are describing is text to email, and you are correct that the Inmarsat (as well as Iridium) phones have this capability built in. The difference is that text to email is purely an SMS function, which is convenient for quick messages since it comes right to your...

A new app, OneMail, was just released that is the first of its kind. It allows you to send and receive emails from your Gmail account directly through a satellite phone data connection. The app downloads just the headers which requires a minimal amount of data, and then you can choose to...

You can also get a 24, 48, or 72 hour weather forecast directly onto to your inReach based on your GPS position via this service: http://www.ocens.com/SpotCast-Weather-P526C132.aspx

With our plans, the monthly amount of data that you get with your subscription fee is not what you are limited to. You can go over that amount which is then subject to the overage fee per MB. There aren't any official prepaid IsatHub plans from Inmarsat, so what you are seeing as "prepaid" out...
