Social Media

To use these social media options you must have the services pre-configured to accept postings remotely.

Facebook
Configuring Iridium Mail for Facebook allows simple posts to Facebook by converting your message into an email format acceptable to Facebook. You can even upload photos. They will be resized, compressed, and posted at a size that works over handheld satellite phone data feeds.

Activate Facebook Posting
First, you must inform Facebook that you give Iridium Mail permission to post on your behalf.

To register Iridium Mail with Facebook:

1. Go to: www.iridium.com/socialmedia

2. Sign in to your Facebook account.

3. Select <Okay> to allow Iridium Mail to post to your Facebook account.

4. Select who you want to be able to see your posts in Facebook.

7. Enter your Facebook username and password in the "Facebook" section.

8. Select <OK> to apply the change.

To post to Facebook, select <Facebook> from the main menu to open a dialog box for entering your posting information. You can attach a photo and enter your text message. Tap <OK> to add the Facebook posting to the Outbox.


Twitter
Keep your followers informed.

Activate Twitter Posting
From the main menu, select <Settings>, then select <Social Media>. Tap to turn Twitter ON. Tap <Get a PIN from Twitter>. Enter your Twitter Username and Password and select <Authorize App>.
