    Why am I not receiving email or SMS messages in my Iridium Cell Phone ZOLEO App?

      If you're not receiving ZOLEO email or SMS messages in your ZOLEO App, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure your ZOLEO communicator and app are properly linked. If the Weather and SOS tabs aren't visible, try connecting them. Check your internet coverage; without it, position your ZOLEO communicator for good satellite coverage and connect it to the app. Also, power saving settings might delay message delivery, especially if set to 60 minutes. Try manually checking for messages or adjusting the power saving setting for more frequent checks.

      If a Check-In message failed to send from your Iridium Cell Phone, ensure that your ZOLEO communicator and ZOLEO App are within range and clear of obstructions. If they are, step outside with your ZOLEO communicator and ensure it has a clear line of sight to the sky. Then, try sending another Check-In message.

    What to do if IMEI has already been activated on Iridium Zoleo?
    • T
      Tracy SchroederAug 22, 2025
      If you cannot activate your ZOLEO communicator online for Iridium Cell Phone because your IMEI has already been activated, it might be active under the previous owner’s account. Request that they deactivate their subscription online. If this does not work, contact ZOLEO support to investigate your IMEI.
