Affordable satellite messaging, location sharing, and SOS, wherever you have a clear view of the sky!*
Respond to messages sent by your contacts via satellite, and message contacts over an internet connection, free of charge.
Bullitt Satellite Messenger offers low-cost messaging over satellite. Communicate with family, friends, and co-workers, in places where it's never been possible to get a message out before. Escape the no-bar blues - cellular dead spots do not apply. When a message is important, we want you to be able to send it.
And in an emergency, you have a reliable means to raise the alarm - day or night, wherever you are*, you can reach the response center via satellite and get the help you need.
Note: a Bullitt Satellite Messenger account and service plan is required to send or receive messages over satellite.
*within the service coverage area, compatible hardware and Bullitt Satellite Messenger plan required.
Going from an Inreach to this (not by choice) I would really like to see more features. A map view would be very useful. Not sure what that would look like in the app but if I have to also use my phone, I should get the red carpet.That aside, no real issue with the app as far as functionality.
The app that could literally kill you

That’s not a hyperbolic title. The most recent versions of the app require users to be logged in, which requires data coverage. I’ve started hikes and been logged out by the end.While the app may be useful for entertainment purposes, it is completely unacceptable to have a safety application which logs users out routinely and arbitrarily, and does not allow a login without the coverage which makes satellite communications meaningless.
Notification Issue Solution
Casa Conejo
Installed the Bullitt Satellite Messenger App yesterday on two iPhone 14 Pro. Was able to receive locked screen message notifications on the iPhone connected to the Motorola Defy but not on the receiving iPhone. After searching different threads with similar message notification issues, it was mentioned that ‘Background App Refresh’ must by enabled in Settings/General/Background App Refresh in order to receive messages when the screen is locked. When this setting was enabled for the Bullitt Satellite Messenger App, message received notifications were displayed on the iPhone locked screen and also on an Apple Watch connected to the iPhone.
Worthless ripoff

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use this!! It didn’t work where there was no service and they won’t cancel your subscription for a year!! I’m out $480 for my husband and I for these pieces of junk.
