Hiking Guy (Cris Hazzard) reviews the new inReach Messenger Plus...
Grrrrrrrr!Well now I know y they are jacking up my plan price ..to cover their new product cost.
My cost has stayed at $11.95. I have the option to move up for more messages (50 instead of 10) and include detailed weather for the same cost as a message (currently $1 per detailed weather). Cost increase would be $3, and you can't go back to your old plan once you choose to upgrade. I haven't ever used 10 messages in a month, but the increase of messages including detailed weather is something to think about. (all costs are per month).
IMO, it is. The other would be spot.Is this the most popular device recommended for ‘wanderers’? I have been wondering what to purchase for my future travels and know I won’t have cell service for almost all of my plans.
Some new phones have satellite capability. Deb's does but we've not tried it yet. Phones aren't nearly as rugged as the devices mentioned above though, and battery life can be an issue. We used the InReach emergency once and was impressed with the service. Anyway, since her phone can text anyone via satellite (without charge for another year) we'll try it on our next trip and report back. Another tool that might come in handy some day.Is this the most popular device recommended for ‘wanderers’?
