ZOLEO provides you with a unique Australian mobile phone number and email address , greatly reducing the costs of sending and receiving messages . It also allows users to suspend their account for a very small monthly fee , meaning you don ’ t have to pay the fullservice costs when you ’ re at home and not needing remote communications . Combine this with the low purchase price for the ZOLEO , plus a range of service plans , and you have a system that is excellent value for money .
We have now been using the ZOLEO for six weeks and I reckon we ’ ve given it a thorough test .
My favourite way to recharge the ZOLEO was using solar energy .
SETTING UP
Out of the box , ZOLEO is ready to go – it just needs to be activated online . You will need to charge the battery using the supplied USB cable . Recharge times are very fast but will vary depending on the power of the USB outlet you ’ re using .
You will need to download the ZOLEO app for your smart device . The app is free so you can download it on all your smart devices . Connecting the ZOLEO to your device is via Bluetooth but , unlike many Bluetooth devices I ’ ve tried to connect to over the years , ZOLEO connects without any effort at all .
You will also need to create an account on the ZOLEO website . This is simple as you are guided through the process . This includes registering your unit under your name , creating an email address and listing two emergency contacts and up to five check-in contacts .
