This would have been a decisive factor for me had I known when I recently bought a new android phone. But now I'm all set for another 10 years I hope.I wonder if the increase in messages is a response to the new satellite capabilities of the iPhone. I just got the latest ios update on my iPhone 14. I was in the Pemi this weekend and wasn't surprised I didn't have service. I was surprised when my phone asked if I wanted to text my wife via satellite instead. The phone showed me the direction in the sky to point the phone and soon enough I was sending texts to my wife despite not having service. Pretty cool feature even if it doesn't replace my inReach.
Can I Still Suspend My Service on the New Plans?
Essential, Standard, and Premium plans no longer have the option to suspend service. However, if you start to change or cancel your subscription an Enabled state of operation will be presented. The Enabled state provides a way of keeping the inReach device active and ready for use in an emergency situation at a low monthly cost. Enabled includes unlimited SOS and pay-as-you-go pricing for other features like messaging and tracking.
Alternatively, some users may benefit from cancelling their service during the off season. For example, if you only need inReach satellite communication features for one or two months out of the year, it will be more cost effective to cancel your service and then reactivate it again the following year.
