The future of Satellite Communications has just arrived!
The all new Iridium GO!, with an unlimited data plan for US$125 a month, will change the way you communicate offshore. Wirelessly connect up to 5 smartphones, tablets or computers to the satellite unit to make calls, get forecast updates, email, and even use social media.

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
