We’re all about big adventures that get us out of the norm and off the grid, but it’s never good to have a method to stay in touch. In the event of arranging a pickup or rescue mission or simply checking on the status of your trip, satellite message is our preferred method to stay connected even in places that don’t have cell phone services. In addition to being able to send (and–most often, receive) messages they also provide many other features that include sharing of locations, GPS navigation, weather reporting, and much more. Our selections below provide all the options available on the marketplace, with options ranging from powerful hotspots that connect with your phone to single-way messaging. For more details, check out our table of comparisons and purchasing tips below the picks.
