Satlink

Stay in touch where the signal ends.

Satlink pairs your phone with a pocket satellite messenger. When there's no mobile signal, your texts go through the Iridium network, which reaches every mountain, ocean and pole.

Plans from $9.99 a month. Live on Google Play Get the Android app. Satlink device coming soon.

Ready in three steps

No new number, no contract with a phone company. Just the device, the app and a plan.

  1. Pair your device

    Switch on your Satlink and pair it with the app over Bluetooth. It takes about a minute.

  2. Start a trip

    Before you head out of range, turn on satellite in the app. You only use satellite months when you travel.

  3. Text as usual

    Write to any phone number or Satlink user. Online it's free; off-grid it goes by satellite, automatically.

Coming soon

The Satlink device

A pocket satellite messenger that pairs with your phone and sends your texts through the Iridium network when there's no signal. You only need it off-grid, so you won't have to buy one: rent it for your trip.

$29a week to rent for your trip
Freewith any yearly plan

$99 refundable deposit for rentals. We post it to you and you send it back after your trip.

Built for places without bars

Texts to any phone

Your friends get a normal text message and reply as usual. They don't need the app, a device or a plan.

Check in with one tap

Send your exact position as a map link, so the people at home know where you are and that you're fine.

One app, on-grid and off

With signal, messages go over the internet for free. Without it, the same conversation carries on by satellite.

Money back for friends

Share your code. When a friend joins and pays, a month of your plan goes back to your card.

Pick how often you go off‑grid

Every plan includes unlimited messages over the internet. You choose how many satellite months you need each year.

Questions

Do I need the Satlink device?

Yes. The app talks to a small Satlink satellite messenger over Bluetooth, and the device sends your texts to the Iridium satellite network. Without the device you can still message over the internet. The Satlink device is coming soon. You won't need to buy one: rent it for your trip for $29 a week, or get one free with a yearly plan. Get notified when it's ready.

Does the person I'm texting need anything?

No. Phone numbers get a normal text message and can reply to it. Other Satlink users get your message in their app.

What's a satellite month?

Satellite service only runs when you need it. Start a trip in the app before you lose signal, and that month counts towards your plan. Months at home cost nothing extra.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at any time from your plan page. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for.

Where does it work?

Iridium covers the whole planet, including oceans and the poles. Satellite messaging isn't offered in countries that restrict it, such as India, China, Russia and Thailand.

Is Satlink an emergency service?

No. In an emergency, contact local emergency services by any means you have.
