Iridium Mail app discontinued

Unfor­tu­nately, Iridium discon­tinued its free mail app with little warning on September 13, 2025, without offering a replacement.

However, there are alter­na­tives, even if they are not free:

• XGate comes closest to the previous user interface of Iridium’s mail app. This is not surprising, as Iridium used the XGate code as a basis. The software/app is available for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS.
  Cost: $25 per month plus a $50 activation fee (no charge with an annual contract)

• UUPlus is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  Cost: $35 per month, with a 15% discount for annual contracts.

• AirMail is officially only available for Windows. On MacOS, you can use Parallels or Virtu­alBox. AirMail requires membership in the SailMail Associ­ation for maritime commu­ni­cation.
  Membership costs $275 per year.
