How ZOLEO Coverage Works
The free companion app offers access to all the awesome global messaging and safety features offered by ZOLEO. And it’s easy to use!
Global two-way messaging (text/SMS, email and app-to-app)
Industry-leading two-way progressive SOS
Medical Assist, 24/7 access to non-emergency medical advice
Check-in
On-demand accurate weather forecasts for any location
Share location in every message
Tip: Invite contacts to use the free app to message you app-to-app. When they do, you can exchange messages of 900+ characters, and you’ll get their messages even if your ZOLEO communicator is turned off. Plus, when messaging SMS numbers via the app, you’ll never need to worry about international roaming agreements when travelling globally. (Contacts don’t need to own a ZOLEO device to message you via the ZOLEO App.)
Note: SOS and check-in buttons work standalone or via the ZOLEO app. In SOS mode, the ZOLEO device sends your GPS location to the emergency monitoring service (GEOS).
Location Share+ enables ZOLEO users to share their location with their check-in contacts, on a user-selected interval from every 6 minutes to 4 hours. ZOLEO users and check-in recipients will be able to use the free ZOLEO app to view the current location and breadcrumb trail on a map. ZOLEO users can start/stop location sharing any time, and also download maps for use offline. Location Share+ is an optional add-on subscription* that includes unlimited location share messages.
*Note: Additional charges apply; can be cancelled any time.

In an emergency, the SOS button ensures you get help wherever it's needed. With a 24/7 expert monitoring service, with ZOLEO you’ll know that your emergency alert and location coordinates were received and that help is being dispatched. And if your situation changes, your SOS can easily be canceled.
NOTE: ZOLEO also includes Medical Assist, a convenient 24/7 chat service for non-emergency medical advice
