Re: iPhone 14/15 GPS texting - anybody using this feature?
Greatest single piece of gear for hunting in out of signal places. I can text home to both iphone users and non iphone userswith ease. Non iphone cannot reply but works better than id ever hoped. Easy to use and opens up more area for me as i hunt alone. Im on vancouver island where theres lots of mountains and the few times i have used it there were no issues. Its free and its a real game changer although its only available in iohine 13 and above.

You sure about non iPhone users not texting back? The first person I tested it with had an android and we had a full conversation over text

I’m assuming that it’s not automatic but I don’t know.
If you have an iPhone 14 or newer and you’re on the latest version of iOS, you would just open your messages when you have no signal and it’ll walk you through connecting to the satellite.

I ended up not getting a new phone.
I did purchase the zoleo, paired it through the app with my current iphone and worked great, suspend it and pay the $6.50 a month until I need it again.
Thinking more about it, I’m pretty sure that even if I had bought a new phone I also would have got the zoleo ( or some secondary gps comms device)…something about all the eggs in one basket, haha.
Happy New Year everyone!
