Thanks for commenting on your experience as a user. Out of curiosity, must the apps "Iridium Mail & Web" or "Iridium GO!" be launched in order to have Internet access? I'm also confused because the official video [1] talks about the former as providing "mobile web access on supported sites". Cheers. [1] https://youtu.be/hcrBE5hkuRU https://youtu.be/hcrBE5hkuRU

Yes and no. The built-in firewall effectively blocks pretty much everything except what's whitelisted. So on the settings portal you choose the sites you want to access and they will download a super compressed version for you. Now to get non-whitelisted sites you can install Opera Mobile. The browser that compresses sites for you. I should have done this before our transatlantic but you live and learn. Supported sites are basically weather sites. During our transatlantic I basically used weather 4D and passageweather. Now to your first question you need the Iridium Go app to initiate the connection. Once online any wifi connected device may use it.
