Satellite Texting in the Mountains

Last check it was just iPhone with android slated for later this spring/summer but that could have just been on Verizon.

I didn’t realize this was even a thing. Might have to cancel the inreach at some point.

I looked up some of the recent conversations on the new satellite texting feature but convos seemed to be varied around service provider or InReach/Zoleo devices. My buddy has ATT and is on a cruise in the Caribbean, seems to be working pretty well. Any guys with experience using it in the mountains? If so, what service?

I used my AT&T iPhone in Nebraska for texting and seemed to work pretty good. Took me a minute to figure out the icon in the top right of the phone tho. I’m not to tech savvy

Used satellite texting and sold my inreach the following week.

Following up on this thread from my montana hunt. I was able to use iMessage on my iPhone via satellite, probably better than my ZOLEO on previous hunts.

My brother in law paid some amount of money to T Mobile and was able to use some different apps and FaceTime via WhatsApp. I’m officially retiring my ZOLEO.
