I turn mine on in August during archery, then when I leave camp in CO the first week of November I turn it off. But I get the plan that costs more because I communicate with my family while I'm the backcountry.Yes, you make some great points. The text function is nice. However, at $15/mo and having to suspend/unsuspend in the 'off' season, I was just thinking it would better serve me to have something that's SOS functional at all times. Then again, $180 year is probably a small price to pay if you get into a situation and really need it.
An additional fee is the annual fee which is like $50. I think I get hit for this in July.
I've considered just getting a PLB, but the communication functions of the Inreach let the ladies relax while I'm solo.
