I am fairly satisfied with the product except for a few quirks. I send my wife a spot , "I'm ok message" when I am out in the boomers. I also like to take it on cruises, but I have found a few voids. It does not work in the Central Pacific Ocean and is unreliable in Alaska. I sent a few messages in Alaska, and the unit said that (green light) the message was sent, but it was not sent! I looked at the new deLorme InReach unit at OSH yesterday, but even with the rebate of $50 it is $200 and there are VERY high fees like $25 per month plus activation fees. If you want to suspend service there are other costs. I would say that except for professional bush flyers or Alaskan travelers, I would hesitate to purchase. -------- See you OSH '12 Q/B - flying 2 yrs.
