Do keep in mind besides the device cost, to access most of the satellite features you'd need a $40 activation fee and $8-50 per month subscription.

Fyi, the free SOS satellite messaging service offered by many carriers and etc do have limitations and do not work in some area. For example, the T-Satellite service offered by TMO do not work in Baja California...

with my in reach the messages went thru right away, no satellite lock. I can type the messages on my phone and send via in reach. for sure its not for everyone, and in my case it wasn't an emergency to send out the messages but my wife was a little worried because it had been 2 days in a row where I couldn't send an end of day message. for me the extra $7 a month (for 6 months a year, then I suspend it) is not much to pay for that extra insurance, peace of mind.

A dedicated satellite terminal is designed to provide a stronger, more dependable connection for sustained voice communications, email, file transfers, operational data, and multiple users, rather than simply giving one person a basic lifeline from a cellphone.
