Buy a SATPHONE you can get them for $100 and a $50 mins plan for 12mos. Those txt based devices can take 10mins to send and receive 2 texts. I get 70mins with rollover for $55

I just traded my inReach off finally. It was more per month than SATPHONE. I have a phone through Inmarsat, it’s worked well offshore when we went fishing, wont work behind a glass windshield in can but might be all the electronics I have.... I have to get out and use it but it’s quick and overwith if I need it.
