What are the monthly subscription plans? Can I cancel service when I’m not using it?

Be aware that you cannot suspend the service to the $4 a month charge until you have paid at least three months of the contract price of $20. So just because it says you can "suspend" service, you have to pay for a couple of months whether you're using it or not during those months. I bought it at the end of the September for two hiking trips I was leading in October and tried to suspend for November and December, months when I don't plan trips, but was told I cannot suspend until at least December 26 so I am stuck paying the whole amount for months I won't be using it.

Can i keep my regular cellular carrier for when i’m not using zoleo device? i only want to use it when i go to cabin off grid.

ZOLEO is designed to work using your cell connection, Wi-fi connection or the ZOLEO Communicator’s satellite connection. When you are in range of cell or Wi-Fi the ZOLEO app will send messages using those connections, when you get out of range, connect the app to the ZOLEO Communicator and you will have seamless global coverage with the Iridium Satellite Network!

can you send pictures over the sms satellite link?

The ZOLEO app does not allow you to send images. The messages may include alphanumeric text and emojis, perfect for quick check-ins and longer conversations. The app is free to download and use over Wi-Fi or cellular, so you can check out the messaging before making a purchase!

Can i still send an sos without my smartphone?

Yes you can! There is a physical SOS button on the phone allowing an SOS to be triggered even if you do not have access to the ZOLEO app. The ZOLEO Communicator also has a physical Check-In button to send updates quickly. https://www.zoleo.com/en-us/how-zoleo-sos-works/
