Hello, I am in need of a link / explanation to get text weather forecasts by email to my iridium telephone. Can anyone point me in the correct direction.

I am using a MacBook Air with PolarView / PolarCom / UUplus. I have that all working very well. I am able to download GRIBs fine. Now looking for text weather data.

Thank you in advance.

Mark.

Exciting things are happening right now with new gear that can put your Iridium connection on a local WiFi network and use iOS devices to connect to/thru the sat.

Iridium is offering their AxcessPoint device:

Global Marine Networks will soon be offering their own version that will work with most current (and a few legacy devices) sat phones.

A good place to start for current Sat phone info:
