I recently acquired a Zoleo Satellite Communicator from our friends at the Sat Phone Shopto add to my emergency equipment, and to give those around me in my personal life peace of mind when I go into thebush.The device is simple and anyone can use it.It extends your phones messaging coverage to absolutely everywhereand provides a simple safety system that not only you but those at home can rely and count on.The device itself hastwo buttons, an SOS button for when you find yourself in an emergency and need help and as check in button, whichsends a message to pre-set numbers allowing you to let people know you are safe even when you are not in coverage.I, myself when setting the device up pressed the check in button to see what would happen, within seconds I hadreceived a message from both my children checking in with me as they had no idea I had the device and their num-bers in it.It might also be a good idea to let those whose numbers you save that you have the device so they under-stand who sent the message.The emergency button is monitored by a team 24/7, and through the phone app you are able to communicate to thisteam until help arrives as well as being able to cancel the emergency if it was a false alarm.The check in button alsoallows you to share your GPS coordinates with your check in contacts, allowing them to track you along each time youcheck in with them, what a great feature!The Zoleo Satellite Communicator is a great device and I strongly recommend others to add it to your emergency gearwhen going somewhere lacking reception no matter whether you are a four wheel driver, bushwalker or undertake anyother hobby in remote areas.Wayne Hevey, CEO FWDVTRACKWATCHJUNE 2021 21"
