NOTE: SOS Monitoring and dispatch is a service provid-

ed by Global Rescue to all active Bivy Stick users as part of 

your monthly service fee. A Global Rescue membership 

provides additional services. More info about a  

membership can be found here:  

https://ss.globalrescue.com/partner/bivy/

During the activation process you will choose the data 

plan that best fits your needs. No matter which data 

plan you choose, the Bivy Stick will be active on the Irid-

ium satellite network for 30 days. Even if you use all your 

allotted credits, you can still continue to use the Stick at 

the rate of $0.50 per overage credit. 

 

Once your Stick is activated, you will be assigned your 

own dedicated phone number which will stay the same 

until you cancel service. You can find this phone num-

ber on the STICK screen in the app. 

USING THE APP

You can see the status of your Bivy Stick and account at 

any time by using the app. On the HOME screen you can 

see how many credits you have used and how many you 

have remaining. 

 

 

 

 

 

On the STICK screen, you will be able to see if your Stick 

is active, when your active account renews or ends, and 

your credit status. You can also navigate to many  

features of Bivy Stick, including Messages, Weather, SOS, 

and Check In message setup. 

MESSAGING

Make sure you are connected to the Stick via Bluetooth. 

Enter the Messages screen from the Stick page or by 

tapping “MESSAGES” on the bottom menu.
