Can't wait, this could save us $15,000 a year in inReach access fees if we switched to just PLB and phone access for messaging.
You might want to look at the reliability guarantee if any that One NZ will give the satellite text message feature.
Most likely in their T&C there will be verbiage that says not to use it as a replacement for dedicated services.
That is why I said PLB plus txt. The satellite txt function of inReach is a fantastic function, but there is a 20min round trip. If Starlink and One Network can get that down that would be great.
Funnily enough, that's exactly why I was digging in to it
Ouch. How many units do you have in service?
The weather forecast that Inreach offers is also excellent, hopefully there will be a way to replicate that over cell service.
