There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The GO is so easy to use once set up, just open the antennae, connect I phone to GO wifi and open app, then start using for calls, texts, or tracking immediately. I even talked on sat phone through a bluetooth connection to my phone while in my aircraft at FL250. It works great with normal sat phone delay in voice transmission. Tried it in car, in Puerto Rico and Fl Keys during hurricane relief efforts and it worked flawlessly. Only concern for some might be the need to keep a smartphone and the Iridium GO both charged, but for me that is not a problem as we always have many battery backups and power supplies that don't need an electrical grid, just something to consider, but I think the ease of operation, the rubberized case of the GO and smartphone interface far outweigh any other issues.
1. Unit works as designed.
2. GEOS was easy to setup.
3. Call quality is acceptable.
4. Data speeds are 2400bps
I grew up with a 2400bps modem, so my expectations were spot on as far as the speed is concerned, I've found two fairly annoying software bugs.
1. The firewall which you setup in the web UI of this device applies to starting the internet connection from the display on the device and not the app. The firewall rules are broken if you use a third party app to connect, then try to connect via the display, you have to power cycle the device to get the firewall rules for the internet call via the display to work and allow connectivity.
2. If you change the guest password, and reinstall web&mail it will fail with ERROR, and no indication of a problem, Change the guest password back to 'guest', Then open mail&web. Then you should have no issues and can change the guest password now.
This device is also Iridium NEXT ready, I suspect a firmware update will come out ahead of the NEXT constellation activation that will increase the L-Band speeds to 64-128kps, So about 50 times faster than it is now.
With help from Blue Cosmo I was able to get the SOS feature working. They have provided support on the other issues which I am working through. I will update once I have followed through all their advice.
Second Update. I am in Northern California and have tried to use these device extensively around California and Nevada. It has never worked. Blue Cosmo has not responded to my request for an RMA. I document (via photos) trying to use the device in the Desert at Kelso with 5 bars and an external antenna. No Internet, No Cell Phone, No Weather Forecasts and no SMS. I asked for an RMA after that test in January and Blue Cosmo has just ignored me. Iridium is a reputable company but this device is a dog and there is no support. Don't buy it. I am out over $1,000 for a boat anchor and I am not happy about.
