5.1. Setting up Iridium GO!
Iridium GO! can send location tracking messages in two ways:
1. Quick GPS – a one-time sending of location information to a predefined group of recipients.
2. Interval Tracking – messages sent automatically according to the scheduled interval frequency.
Both tracking methods will send a message including your position to your recipient(s).
Note: Usage fees apply for all Tracking messages. Each position report is treated as a standard outging SMS message.
