Or, just get an iPhone
Wow, that's awesome, understanding the target audience and chiming in thoughtfully. When you're in the Rockies hiking through the wilderness, give me a call on your iPhone and let me know how you're doing. If your college aged daughter is backpacking Thailand with friends, just tell her all she needs is an iPhone and to check in regularly. If you're deep in Baja on a 5 day outing, send me a text from your iPhone so we know how you're doing. 🙄

You make it sound like this Garmin unit does all that stuff... it doesn't.

You do know that the recent iPhones with satellite connectivity provides text messaging, SOS signal and location sharing, similar to this Garmin, without a cell network. I'm not saying that one should not buy this Garmin, because there's a target audience out there for sure. Just pointing out that your statement is based on cellular and/or WiFi connectivity (or lack thereof) of an iPhone.

A recent update made it possible to use SOS while your device subscription is suspended. You can do the $8/mo Enabled plan, then suspend for 12 months after which it'll go back to Enabled. I believe REI stopped selling this model so before too long, it'll just be the more expensive Mini 3's as an option.

My pixel phone also will do the emergency satellite texting. For an extended backcountry trip I would probably consider a dedicated satellite phone, but that is not my use case presently.

My daughter is at a girls camp in the heart of the Rockies. Zero cell service, yet I was texting her this afternoon. She has an iPhone and, fun fact, it'll text through satellites when there's no cell service.Only negative is that occasionally you have to wait for the satellite to come into range. The phone literally tells you how long it takes to come into range.

These types of devices are a thing of the past. Your iPhone or android phone can do pretty much everything this device can.

They're like the stand-alone GPS devices of the past. Funny that Garmin is/was the leading brand of those as well Smilie
