It's initially exciting to see new connectivity solutions continue to be talked about. Unfortunately prices are still high, and throughput is still low, so the only positive here appears to be increased visibility hopefully leading to induced demand and further development.
Their pricing model is great for emergency use, though.
- 22c 4y agoAgreed, this is not revolutionary but the pricing seems quite reasonable. I noticed the fine-print though "Subject to minimum subscription period". That's likely a 12-month subscription, paid monthly. If you're not going on a remote hike every month then it becomes less attractive. You don't really need a satellite capable messaging device for 12 months of the year. At this point, I'd rather a service where each message costs $1 but has no ongoing costs than what is being offered here.
