Dissatisfied. in Computers & Accessories

I purchased this product to help people in remote areas of Puerto Rico connect with loved ones. After successfully setting up the device and connecting via the mobile app on iPhone and Android, we had poor results. The device starts our search for available satellites (as it should), begins registration, and then starts the search and registration process again. We were able to successfully stay registered to make a call for 5 days. Very disappointed as I thought this might be a solution that…

Pros
  • Quality construction

  • Electrical outlet required

PredictWind's IridiumGo is amazing

Predict Wind provided excellent customer service, support and options. I have never experienced such attention to detail, care and fulfillment and will forever be a customer. They helped me identify all the components and replacement parts I needed and got me started. Swimming long passages in the middle of the ocean requires some kind of contact with the outside world (mushroom files, weather, emergencies). Our SSB radio was useful but couldn't offer the features that IridiumGo offers (calls…

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Communication with seller

I tested it and love it. The system is not real Wi-Fi.

So I bought this from Revain because of the return policy. I tested it and love it. The system isn't true Wi-Fi as most people realize, but if you know the limitations and use it, it's a very good device. So far I have not figured out the function of the crew.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Some problems

I'm the First Responder. Got this to replace my old satellite phone which is about 12 years old. The concept of this satellite TV system is amazing. Bought through ads. I can honestly say I feel the device is so incapable of almost everything it advertises that a buyer could actually sue for false advertising. I'm trying to return it now after trying to connect my smartphone to it for 2 weeks. I have ZERO successful connections in two weeks. It will NOT be reliable at ALL in an emergency. I can

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged

what do you need to know for mobile broadband devices

I have not used this product. I bought it for a specific purpose in early November. I have downloaded several applications and am ready to activate the service at this time. I bought this in place of a Garmin sensor which I found very difficult to use. I hope I have the best experience with Iridiom-Go.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
