RE: Iridium GO
How large are the email files we can send using Iridium GO? Note that all previous similar devices we have investigated were limited to quite short emails and were thus not sufficient for our needs. Thanks, Gary
Hi Gary,
Thanks for getting in touch, as we discussed via email there is no file size limit, but large files will take a very long time.
Practically files needs to be less than 1 MB
Thanks
Mike

Is there any advantage to keep my old iridium sat phone, if I purchase an iridium go.
Hi Ross,
It is always good to have a backup satellite device on board and the SIM card from the Iridium GO will work in the satphone, should anything untoward happen to the Iridium Go. Note; the airtime plan free data/ sms does not carry over if you use the SIM in an Iridium Phone, you would get charged a per minute or per sms rate.
Personally, I would carry the Iridium phone as an emergency backup.
