SomeWear Satellite Communicator
Does anyone have experience with these or had a chance to try one? It’s basically a satellite hotspot that tethers to your smartphone. With a monthly plan you can send unlimited texts through it from your phone. You can also send satellite texts and beacon pins without your phone but the number depends on the plan you pick and cost ~ .50 per message after that.
It’s less expensive than the Garmin InReach and, at $9 / month for the cheapest plan, it would beat Garmin and certainly be more affordable than a SatPhone. I’m just curious about actual use since reliability tends to vary greatly among satellite devices.
