User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a 2019 model
Answer:	Yes, all new Isatphones sold by Bluecosmo are the most recent production run of the Isatphone 2.
Question:	Can i use it with thuraya sim card and use it in KSA
Answer:	You cannot use a Thuraya SIM card in an IsatPhone. Each satellite phone and satellite network has their own SIM cards with specific pricing plans. You can only use an IsatPhone SIM card with an IsatPhone Pro or IsatPhone 2, a Thuraya SIM with Thuraya satellite phones, Iridium SIM cards with Iridium satellite phones and Globalstar with Globalstar service plans. BlueCosmo Customer Care - [email protected]
Question:	So does the 38 minutes start when you start use of minutes or start use when purchsed
Answer:	I am still confused please explain. 1. Does the 30 day period start the moment you buy the minutes or the moment you active the card? For example, I would like to buy 30 minutes, keep it in my drawer for 1-2 years, then when I travel just active it. Will that work?
Question:	Do u have assigned phone number? Can people call and text me
Answer:	The Isatphone Prepaid service will have an international Inmarsat phone number. The country code is 870. Calling into that number will be very expensive for the caller. We always suggest that anyone trying to contact the satellite phone use the SMS/Text function. The IsatPhone may receive SMS/Text messages from a cell phone, email or a web form, and the Isatphone is not charged to receive the message and has a very low rate for sending a message, so it is very cost effective.
Question:	Can readout be set for degrees, minutes, seconds
Answer:	No...but converting is easy... Example: 38 15.625' is 38 15' 37.5' (.625*60=37.5) Also, one cannot change which system is used. Also, although it says BeiDou, I do not think it can use that as I display only shows GPS and GLONASS satellites and there is not menu setting that I can find to change that. But BeiDou is not needed and less accurage.
Question:	can this unit help find survey pins
Answer:	If you mean by location then yes it can give you the general area to search.
Question:	Is their an owners manual for this unit
Answer:	It comes with a folded sheet of instructions--the instructions are easy to read. The units measure position roughly accurate to about 5m and measure distance and areas with accuracies related to that accuracy. Note: Although the units advertise as doing BeiDou besides GPS and GLONASS, the units that I have received only do GPS and GLONASS. In the photo you can see a row of bars for GPS and a row for GLONASS. There is no third row for BeiDou despite the advertising that it will also use BeiDou.
Question:	Is there a spanish setting for this gps
Answer:	No but the language use is very little and it is simple to operate.
Question:	Would this work for costal boating in the Florida Keys
Answer:	Can't see why not. Look online for Garmin-compatible charts, whether from Garmin or not. (My hiking map, with contours and more trails than the USGS maps, was a free download! Look around.) The eTrex models are waterproof, which is a plus. Think seriously about the display size, though. The whole unit fits in the palm of your hand, and its display is only a couple inches high. (See the specs. I might be off a little.) We hikers and hunters can stop and consult the unit, then start walking again. Your boat might travel quite a distance while you peer at that tiny screen, even with the engine stopped. Just a thought.Garmin obviously had boaters in mind when they programmed this, regardless of its size. It even has a "Man Overboard" function that instantly records its current location, then displays the distance and direction back to there while you turn the boat around. It shows tides, too, at whatever tide stations are close to you. Bottom line: it will do everything you need (I think) and do it all day and on into the next morning on a pair of AA cells, but your eyes will ask you why you didn't buy something with a bigger screen.
Question:	does this gps come with preloaded topo maps for the United States
Answer:	The maps that come preloaded are: Worldwide DEM Basemap (NR), Digital Globe demo (Jnx) and USGS Quads - Grand Canyon National Park (Jnx). Unfortunately, you will have to get the topo maps separately.
Question:	Does this unit have an electronic compass? Or do you have to be movin to recieve an acccurate reading. Thanks
Answer:	yes on the compass (electronic) but turn on the WAAS depending on if you set the compass for a true north or magnetic north WAAS gets rid of the errors jumping from satellite to satellite
Question:	What is the significant difference between this Garmin and the Garmin Oregon 600t base model without the camera
Answer:	The Oregon and all the Garmin "state" models all have a touch screen, don't they? The eTrex series doesn't. For controls it has the Power/battery check button and "back button on the right, and on the left, the zoom-in and -out buttons, plus the Menu button. On the front, at top-right, is the main control, a little thumbstick. Use it for scrolling and selecting menu items and for moving the map beyond your location.You'll want to spend some time reading the manual; this thing has a LOT of functionality. Most important shortcut: no matter how deep you go in the menus, double-tapping the Menu button takes you back to the main screen, with Map highlighted.
Question:	Is a subscription service required for this unit to function
Answer:	no need.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this device be used as a gps without an active satellite subscription
Answer:	Yes it can. Without a subscription the inReach Explorer+ has a 24k scale topo map of North America built-in and the ability to navigate using its compass, barometric altimiter, and accelerometer. But why would you pay $450 for these features when Garmin and other companies give them to you for much less in other devices. The significant reason to buy the inReach is its satillite communication features, including GEOS Search and Rescue response. Please note, if you don't have an active subscription you CAN'T TURN IN ON from the trail. If you get into an emergency situation you won't have satellite access. Therefor you can't get an SOS through. You can't send an email to DeLorme (now Garmin) to turn it on. You're isolated from the outside world even though the device has the features you need. Without the active subscription they won't work. Because of this, I choose to subscribe to the ANNUAL plan which is always active. The cheapest version is under $15 / month including taxes. That way I'm always assured of communications even if I break down on the Interstate outside of cell phone range. Their other FREEDOM plan is a bit more expensive but allowes you to turn the subscription on or off on a monthly basis. This seems like a great option if you only hike during the Summer months. But don't look to it when you slide off the road in January and you have no active service.
Question:	Does it cost when you receive messages or is it included in the plan
Answer:	You are charged for messages sent and also messages received. You also pay for tracking points (your location) sent to your online map for friends to follow you. What you are charged depends on the level of service you choose and the subscription plan you have. The basic SAFETY level at $11.95 (Annual Contract plan) or $14.95 (Freedom plan - no contract) each month. It gets you 10 messages and no tracking points. Additional messages are $0.50 each. Tracking points are $0.10 each. The RECREATION level has unlimited messages and tracking points and costs $49.95 or $64.95 each month depending on your plan.
Question:	I'm trying to figure out the satellite subscription. does it include any search & rescue insurance? find me spot does, but i don't like their device
Answer:	Yes, a subscription to GEOS (the same search and rescue service offered with a SPOT) is included with the monthly fee.
Question:	If the Iridium service is suspended, does this device become a paperweight like the Explorer, locking you out of the gps, tracks, msg history, etc
Answer:	Iridium is used for two functions, messaging and track updates to your MapShare page. The GPS features are self contained, like other Garmin units. So without the satellites you still have your exact location on a 24k scale map, digital compass, track log on the InReach for easy return via the same route, pre-loaded waypoints and routes for navigation, and the ability to connect to a Smarphone where you may have pre-downloaded additional maps, such as color satellite views. What you lose if satellites are down (which they never are) is connectivity with the outside world through messages and track reporting to your MapShare site. Think of it this way. If you had a GPS app on your phone and the cell service went down you still could see where you are on your app but you couldn't text home.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do they text or email you? Is the device assigned a phone number or email address
Answer:	Hi! You will sign up for an email address where you can send and receive messages.
Question:	I have an ipad without gps. can this device give location data to the ipad via bluetooth (similar way to e.g. the garmin glo) for my navionics charts
Answer:	Yes, you would install the Earthmate app to the device and the GPS position will be transmitted to in when paired, from the GPS antenna of the Mini
Question:	How long is the delay between texting back and forth with someone else
Answer:	Unlike cell texting which uses a network of towers just waiting for your texts, the InReach is meant for use in areas there cell services is not available. In the wilderness, or far offshore. The InReach uses the Iridium network of satellites that circle the Earth from pole to pole about every hour and a half. So, at any place on Earth one or more satellites will pass by at various times and can transmit your message to a ground station to be passed on to anyone, anywhere via the Internet. The answer to your question depends on whether a satellite is passing overhead and if there is nothing to block your transmission to it. In a practical example, if you have lots of unobstructed sky messages will go from you to a satellite and on to the recipient in from two to twenty minutes. The same applies for return messages back to you. Any less sky overhead just means that you might miss a satellite passing low on the horizon. Therefore, don’t think of the InReach as a fast communication device like cell phones. Think of it as the ONLY communication option where cell service is absent. Like in the mountains, on the ocean, or just over the hill in a dead cell area.
Question:	Does this work as a stand-alone product, or, is a paired device required
Answer:	Yes, it can work as a stand alone product, but you do need a subscription to use the text services. It works way better with a phone if you need to send custom messages, but for the basic 3 pre set up text messages you can customize on their web site after getting the subscription it's easy to do just on the device itself. Typing out a custom message with just the up and down arrows is very time consuming.

User questions & answers

Question:	If I buy it, with the 200 mi 6 months card, the time will start running one I activate it, right? what if it takes me 6 months to activate
Answer:	Your time starts upon activating the plan.
Question:	Would satellite-phone satellites still be able to function if there was an EMP caused by an atmospheric explosion...200-250 miles in the air
Answer:	Inmarsat Satellites in orbit would still work because they are positioned in geostationary orbit at 22,000 miles above Earth's equator. This is much further than any EMP can reach unless it's caused by a solar flare, but a solar flare damage is highly unlikely because satellites are well shielded from electromagnetic radiation. Satellite phones do not have built in EMP protection, but you can protect it by placing it in a well insulated metal container that acts as a Faraday cage. EMP protection bags are also available on Amazon, these work great but make sure you choose proven and tested quality. See youtube for real reviews. In conclusion, you only need a EMP protection bag to store and protect your satellite phone from an Electromagnetic Pulse event.
Question:	Unlocked ? The phone
Answer:	Yes, the phone comes unlocked
Question:	My girlfriend told me to go to hell. Will this phone work there
Answer:	The IsatPhone2 will work over a wide range of temperatures, but you'll probably have to wait until hell freezes over to get below the maxim 131F operating temperature. Once it freezes over, you're good to -4F.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you message from one spot x to another spot x at base camp? When both are not connected to any cell service
Answer:	Yes, so long as both Spot X units have been activated with a separate service plan. Please note that satellite messages can take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes to send and receive their messages - depending on several factors, the most important being where the overhead satellites are located relative to your location(s) and your Spot X having a clear view of the sky above it.
Question:	can you see where someone is without creating a rescue mission
Answer:	If the owner/user of the Spot X has provided you with their unique number and you can access the internet, you can see where they are (as of when the Spot X last pinged the satellite with it's location).
Question:	I didn’t read anything about being able to make phone calls is that not included with this device
Answer:	No, this device does NOT make or receive any type of phone calls, it is strictly used for two-way texting and short SMS messages. If you require actual phone calls, contact any local authorized Globalstar dealer and ask them about their stocking levels of the GSP-1700 satellite phone. I got my sat phone at Off Grid Gear 2 Go in AZ.
Question:	does this work for offshore fishing east coast us
Answer:	Don't know about east coast. Does work 110 miles off Texas gulf coast.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi. is iridium go will work with iridium next?! if yes, what is download speed will be
Answer:	All current Iridium devices will work with Iridium's next generation satellites, however, the data speed will not be upgraded for old devices. Only new terminals will support higher speeds. Thank you. Sattrans USA
Question:	How does the Go! compare to the Iridium Extreme 9575 + AxcessPoint for weather
Answer:	We would give the edge here to the Go. It is less expensive, you have one less battery to deal with, and the user interface is optimized on the Go. However, keep in mind that both units have limited use with even small data files, as the connection speed between the Go/9575 and the satellite is a mere 2.4kbps. That's 2400 baud, or about 1/20th of dial-up speed. Thanks, GlobalcomSatPhone
Question:	Can I buy the unlimited plan through you guys
Answer:	Yes, we offer a few unlimited plans. The Unlimited part is the Data and Text Messaging, the plans vary by the amount of Voice Minutes allowed per month and the additional voice usage per minute cost.
Question:	Will whatsapp work on my iphone with iridium go
Answer:	The Iridium GO! has a limited data connection that will not work with most third party applications. Voice and text are handled via the Iridium GO! app and there is a separate app for use with an Iridium email address to complete email tasks and limited data functions (sending a picture, weather).

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this take onX chip
Answer:	Yes
Question:	How big an sd card can you use
Answer:	You can use any size card you want, there are tutorials on how to use 128GB card and we suspect that you can also use 256GB card, big problem is that it must be formatted in Fat32 format which is a very old format, and if you transfer payloads larger than 4 GB in size the files will get corrupted, Fat32 is also very slow, so if you go for the big 256GB card, prepare to take several weeks to upload that many maps, and also prepare for the GPS to take several minutes to read the whole library. 32GB memory stuff they say is absolute rubbish, google it and you will see, if it can be done with 64, it can be done in 66.
Question:	Can it be run on aa/aaa batteries or does it require the rechargeable pack
Answer:	Unlike its sister GPS only device, the GPSMAP 66st the InReach added GPSMAP 66i only comes with a built-in rechargable battery which is not accessible by the user. I suspect that this is because the energy requirements needed to push InReach messages far into space to passing Iridium satellites requires a battery with more capacity than AA batterirs can provide. So, like all InReach models the GPSMAP 66i has an internal lithium battery that is not accessible by the user. When, after many years if service it dies, a replacement can be swapped in by Garmin and the unit resealed to meet the waterproof standard.
Question:	Do you need to add a service provider or can you just use it as is
Answer:	I appologize in advance to those who understand the following information. But to those new to the world of InReach satellite communications I will try to explain the basics. The InReach features buit into the GPSMAP 66i are for text and email (no photos) messages to anyone from anywhere on Earth using the Iridium Satellite nexwork. Garmin provides these services for reasonable price plans that can meet every budget from $13/ mth. To $70/mth depending on your expected use of the system. InReach also can provide Remote Tracking which will send your position via the satellites to a unique map page where family and friends can follow your progress. Garmin has two types of plans, each with the multi-level options mentioned above. The Annual Contract plan keeps your InReach active and ready to communicate at all times, like a Cell phone. If you choose this plan you are committed for the first year no matter what your actual usage. After that you are free to drop the service at any time. They also offer a convenient and flexable Freedom plan that costs a bit more but lets you deactivate the InReach for any months when you won't need it, It costs $24.99 each year plus the first month's cost depending on the level of service you choose. After that first month you may deactivate or activate it on a month to month basis. The only thing to remember is you MUST activate before heading into the backcountry away from Internet access. Activation and deactivation may only be done on-line. Never from the InReach via the satellites. The satelllites will not accept any messages ( even SOS) from deactivated units. All InReach services are provided through Garmin via your unique account site. If you choose not to sign up for an InReach communication plan you may use all of the other features of the GPSMAP 66i. But if you NEVER intend to use the InReach features I would suggest you consider buying the GPSMAP 66st at a lower price but without the capibility to use the InReach communication and SOS services from remote location beyond the cellular range. As for me, I would spend the extra money for the GPSMAP 66i and keep the option to activate InReach communnications if only to have the ability to contact emergency sercices at the press of an SOS button or to get roadside help from a dead Cell zone. The plans are flexable and inexpensive and can save your life.

User questions & answers

Question:	if the antenna is down, and the phone is in your pocket or the truck dash, will a call be received? does the antenna need to be up at all times
Answer:	You can purchase a vehicular antenna. The Vehicular Antenna (AT1595-92) is an accessory designed for use with theIsatPhone 2 on land vehicles. When the IsatPhone 2 is connected to theantenna it is possible for a user to maintain a link to the satellite while makingcalls in a moving or stationary land vehicle. The antenna requires DC powerprovided via USB cable from car charger to the bottom of the clip adapter.
Question:	What is the additional cost and monthly increase for a US phone number
Answer:	You can obtain a US number that forwards to your IsatPhone Number for $10 to $12 per month. You would pay the same airtime rate as for an outgoing call from the phone.
Question:	How much does it cost to call sat phone to sat phone on average? I would like to purchase 2, but am concerned with the rates
Answer:	It's the same price whether calling sat phone to sat phone or calling sat phone to cellular or a landline. One unit is approximately .77 of one minute.
Question:	Is everyone having battery issues like one of the reviews
Answer:	We (BlueCosmo Satellite Comm) have sold quite a few of the IsatPhone 2 units and we're an authorized repair center for Inmarsat. We did have several units come back with this problem in early 2014. A fix was addressed for this in the latest firmware 01.04.01. You can download this firmware and see the release notes at http://www.inmarsat.com/support/isatphone-2-support/We can do this firmware upgrade quickly for a small fee for any IsatPhone 2 owner. BlueCosmo customers pay only for the cost of shipping.
