Anyone try out the Motorola Defy? I currently have the inReach but I'm not super satisfied with it. Thoughts?

I looked at it online (never heard of it before) seems like more of the same to me. What is their sales pitch? Why is is supposed to be better? I’m guessing they are using the same Satelite array as everyone else. Better app for phone maybe? Slightly cheaper plans?

I’ve always been pretty satisfied with my Garmin stuff. Have a couple friends with Zoleo and they seem pleased. I’ve seen several others, but never seriously considered anything besides Inreach.

I'm not sure. Other than half the price of inReach and the 1/6th the monthly fee. Easier to use too.

How do you know it’s easier to use if you haven’t used it?

The monthly plan on my inreach isn’t a huge concern to me as I turn it on and off as I use it.

Service available to Alaska by September 2023, wish that was guaranteed.

I'm not saying it is easier to use. That is essentially their claim, not mine. I'm trying to find out if it really is.

Oh, gotcha, my bad.
