Overview
Use the Bivy Stick to turn your cell phone into a satellite communication device. With global satellite coverage via the Iridium satellite network, anywhere you have a view of the sky, you can communicate through the Bivy Stick. While conveniently compact, the Bivy Stick still offers a comprehensive feature set including two-way text messaging, SOS, location sharing, one-touch Checkin, and detailed weather reports sent straight to your cell phone via satellite. Additionally, offering a feature not provided with many other satellite communicators, the Bivy Stick provides users with a dedicated phone number and email. This important feature allows unsolicited incoming messages, meaning that those that are most important to you can reach you at any time, without the need for you to initiate contact.
The value of the Bivy Stick is further enhanced via key accessories such as the large variety of available mounting options. The many available mounts allow users to attach the Bivy Stick to any vehicle, backpack or structure and make it an ideal device for adventurers who find themselves going from one activity to another. The available portable and lightweight solar panel also provides for greater flexibility of use. Featuring intelligent charging technology, the solar panel allows users to efficiently harness solar power and conveniently extend the battery life of the Bivy Stick while off grid.

Service Plans
Click Here For information on the Bivy Monthly Plans.
Monthly plan required. All monthly plans include unlimited Preset / Check in Messages, SOS Monitoring, and the ability to suspend or renew month to month with no annual contract.
When you activate your Bivy Stick, you are given credits to use. Each credit is basically one action of the Bivy Stick. 1 credit = 1 message, or 1 location share, or 1 weather report, or 1 hour of tracking. Preset Check-In messages, however, are unlimited and free. Your credits are valid for as long as your Bivy Stick is active. If you use all credits and are way off-the-grid out of service, your device will still work great and you will be charged $0.50 per additional credit used. If you do not use all of your credits by the end of 30 days, and you pay the monthly base plan to keep the device active, all unused credits will rollover and are available to use later.
