I don’t own a smart phone. My family said I had to have a phone,so I got the cheapest flip I could find.a
And it stays in the truck or my pack off.

I use the InReach while hunting but it’s off too. I carry a mini I pad in my pack. If I need mapping I sit down crack a soda and Bluetooth to the mini. Bigger map. Plan my route forward and go.

No phone service most places I hunt.

This time of year I just turned the InReach service back on cheapest plan 15.00 because I have some trips planed. In September I will up the plan to 35.00 because I will be away from home more.

I am keeping my Garmin Inreach for a while but T-Mobile has this coming sometime in the near future: https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/t-mobile-takes-coverage-above-and-beyond-with-spacex
