Just got back from a trip to the BWCA with my grandson and discovered I no longer need my Garmin inReach! I have a Google pixel 9 phone and use Verizon and when I was out of all network availability it automatically switched to satellite mode. I was able to send and receive texts to and from anyone and there is no extra cost so I guess I can save my inReach subscription in the future. No attachments allowed and no group chats but it works for 911 and letting the wife know I'm still alive. Guess there's no getting away from it all anymore.
 
I lost service yesterday (not in the wildernes, in a dead spot in RI), and a message about switching to satellite came up on my phone. Wasn't sure what it was, so i just closed it. Next time it happens I'll pay more attention.
