That's because it's an app that connects to an Iridium phone via BT.

No he's asserting that this is like Garmin inReach, but is higher bandwidth, magically works with any existing phone, and is free.

Which we all know isn't going to happen. 80% of the commenters here have fallen for the banana in the tailpipe. Again.
