What happens if a message is sent when the Bivy Stick is turned off?
- If someone sends you a message when your bivy stick is turned off the message will sit on the servers at Iridium for 5 days. If your device is turned on within those 5 days the message will be delivered to your bivy stick when it is turned on.
- If your bivy stick is turned on but your phone is off and someone sends you a message the status like on the bivy stick will blink green which indicates you have a message sitting on the stick and need to connect it to a phone to read the message. In this case, the message will stay on the stick until you connect the stick to a phone via Bluetooth.
