SatQuick Features |
SMS Messaging If you aren't using SMS Messaging on your Iridium 9505A, now is the time to start. SMS messages are fast, require no email account or dialing in to pick up email, and are inexpensive. Many Iridium calling plans provide for free incoming messages, and charge less than a quarter for outgoing messages. With SatQuick, SMS messages can be typed on your laptop or tablet, and sent off with a mouse click. No more fumbling with the phones's keypad to "type" a message. In most cases SMS messages are delivered within 30 seconds, making SMS a viable method for "chatting" in text.
Address Book Management The 9505A handset has memory for over 250 phone numbers and names in its addressbook. Until SatQuick, there was no easy way to get access to all that storage. Now, you can build an addressbook in SatQuick, including importing contact information from the Windows Addressbook. If you already have all of your contact information there, most of the work is already done! After arranging the contacts into the three available storage classes, they can be uploaded to the 9505A with a single click. You can also download any contacts you may already have, and either save them in SatQuick, as a comma-delimited text file, or merge them directly into Windows Addressbook. Addressbook entries can be dialed with a single click, and there is a Direct Dialing window available so that you can type in a number to be dialed directly, without having to use the phone's keypad - very convenient if the phone is mounted to a bulkhead or in a transit case. In short, SatQuick makes the 9505A's addressbook useful!
Geopositioning Although you may not know it, when you place a call the Iridium network calculates your position on earth. This information is avabilable in SatQuick, both as the raw data and converted to Latitude and Longitude. While not of the precision of GPS, the position is acurate to within several kilometers. It might be just the thing in an emergency if you have lost your other positioning capablities at sea.
Coordinated Universal Time The Iridium network also provides a time service, and SatQuick allows access to this. You can get the UTC time, and then automatically set the 9505A's internal clock or your computer's clock, complete with automatic time zone offset.
