Looks like we have a very good Garmin inReach competitor now with competitive service rates. I own the inReach but it's always good to have more choices.

SPOT X provides 2-way satellite messaging so you can stay connected to family, friends and colleagues whenever you’re outside of cellular range, including direct communication with Search & Rescue services in case of a life-threatening emergency. SPOT X even provides you with your own personal mobile U.S. number so others can message you directly from their cell phone or other SMS devices at any time.

GearJunkie has a good review here!

With the Inreach, the Bluetooth linking to my mobile device was sealed the deal for me.

I like this feature a lot too, especially while driving, as I pair it to a tablet which makes viewing my location on the map at a glance valuable. I'd rather pay the extra premium and stay with my Garmin because of the companion app with maps.
