This is the right answer. A Garmin InReach or similar device with two-way messaging capabilities should be regarded as standard equipment now for anyone going into backcountry or remote areas.
The two-way messaging allows local rescue teams to assess your condition, confirm your location, and deploy the appropriate resources more quickly.
