ZOLEO has scrapped its old three-plan line-up and replaced it with two simple options — Prepare and Protect. Activation has halved, unlimited messaging is now far cheaper, and the entry plan's allowance has shifted. Here's exactly what's changed in 2026, what it costs, and which plan we'd choose.

If you spend time beyond mobile phone coverage, whether hiking the hills of the Lake District or tackling a remote overseas expedition, a two-way satellite communicator could be your most important piece of kit. These small devices allow you to send and receive messages, share your location, and trigger an SOS in an emergency, all via satellite.

But here’s the crucial tip most people overlook:
The cost of the device is only a fraction of your total spend. Over its lifetime, the subscription plan will cost far more than the hardware itself.

In this article we look at some of the key points you need to consider before you get started.
