*Please note that from iOS13 onwards, the phone will only ring during an incoming call if the SatSleeve app is open. Otherwise, the phone will show a missed call (you will be able to call back). This is a limitation from Apple that is beyond our control.

Note: Even though officially from Apple, the SatSleeve+ / Hotspot app is only compatible with the iOS versions listed above, some users have mentioned that a workaround might work for older versions of iOS:

• If you’ve previously installed the app on your phone, you'll find it in your device's App Store under the Purchased tab.
• If you’ve never previously installed, or you're using a new Apple account, just go to the App Store in iTunes on or computer and download SatSleeve+ / Hotspot. It doesn't matter what version that is; you just need to have the SatSleeve+ / Hotspot app as a "Purchased" app on your Apple account.
  
  Now you can go back to the Purchased tab on your device, and you should find SatSleeve+ / Hotspot there. Hit that Install button and you should be offered the option to download a previous version.
