Posted: Fri May 17, 2013 10:31 pmFor $500 on hardware, and $8 a minute for something that has no coverage in americas--there is a better option for Summitpost users.
Check this out...
Delorme Inreach SE http://www.inreachdelorme.com
$299 for hardware..and as little as $10 a month for full global coverage via the Iridium Satellite network.... it has no voice but uses cheaper 2-way SMS text/email, has interactive chat with SOS, plus free GPS navigation on free topo for the world and free NOAA nautical charts.
