We've made it really easy to send a check-in message to your pre defined contacts.
With the app open, from the main home screen, tap the Check In icon at the bottom of the screen. This initiates the Check-In sequence, you will see the send chevron indicating where you should swipe upwards on your device screen.
Completing the swipe up on your device screen will initiate the check-in message to be sent to your pre defined contact. This will send over IP or satellite, depending on your coverage.
The recipient will receive the message with your GPS coordinates to their Bullitt Satellite Messenger app (if they have already registered) or through an SMS if they are yet to register for a free account. To reply, they will need to download the app and respond from within there.
Note: sending a check-in message over satellite will decrease your overall satellite messaging allowance by one 50 byte message.
