I found a place in our City that rents Sat phones. Pretty reasonable price and family loves when I call to check in at night. I think for 2 weeks it’s 80 bucks.

Cheap way to go for a trip into the back country for sure ! RJ

I just deactivated my Spot Gen3 and replaced with a Garmin Inreach Mini. Similar monthly rates, however i can put the Inreach to sleep for a lower rate when not being used after hunting season.
Same tracking and SOS features, but now have 2 way messaging, bluetooth to my Iphone for keyboard and contacts, and Earthmate Topos on my Iphone.
PM if interested in the Spot

X2 for Delorme Inreach. I paid like $400 for mine which hurt at the time but if you've got family that worries about you when you're out of cell phone service hunting/scouting its a no brainer in my opinion. Go get em' tiger!

Have to go with an iridium for sat phone if you are interested in that. I had a globalstar but recently sold it because they went away from pay by minute to subscription service. Just couldn't justify it anymore. I can't remember what they monthly cost was. Somewhere around 75$ but that only gave you like 20 mins a month with no rollover. Iridium plans were way more flexible

Think i'm gonna go for an iridium, had globar stars that rarely worked for years and even the new one I tried out this year wouldn't work right in town. I also have a few old spots and have an in reach as well but I don't want to text to send messages.
