. . . it's worth the extra $ to go with the inreach or a good sat phone. And in an emergency, with the inreach the help can be continually communicating with you for status, location, what to do etc.
I'm with the go with a "good sat phone" crowd.
This summer our Class A DP broke down in northern WI. As luck would have it, there was no Verizon service where we were. I had to unhitch our toad and drive to the closest town. Long story short, everything turned out ok -- just (just!!!) an expensive engine fix.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I could have used a sat phone to contact CoachNet, but what could I have done with an Inreach Explorer?
