Are you able to type out texts or is it canned messages only? I’ve always wanted one of these but have zero use for them.

- nickpp 4y agoMy monthly plan allowed unlimited your own texts and replies. Limited number of characters each though. There are also some settable canned messages and an emergency signal options, but I never used them. Do you hike, sail or otherwise travel in truly remote areas? That was my scenario - being able to tell my wife and kids that I am OK while days away from the closest outpost of civilization.

- wepple 4y agoBoth, depends on your plan. Custom messages cost more. My $10/month-ish plan allows unlimited pre-canned, which I use to check in with family “I’m still alive” / “on my way home” type thing. Then I get a certain allocation of custom. Sending GPS waypoints counts as custom IIRC?
