Looks interesting. I retired from Rogers over 2 years ago otherwise I would have likely been involved in the launch but as it stands I don't know much. I just signed up for the beta.
It is free until the end of Oct. and looks like you don't need to be a Rogers mobile customer to join.
$10/mth after that for the first 12 months. Will try it out and see if it is worth it yet. Eventually this will spell the end of Inreach etc..Not sure if we are there yet though.

It's the battery life that will keep InReach relevant (unfortunately). I don't know of a phone that will last a week+ on a charge.

I dunno, I can get 7-8 days with minimal usage out of mine. I can also get a lot of power banks or solar for the cost of just 1 season of inReach. Plus a phone affords the luxury of weather updates and any alerts we may need.
I've been waiting on this over Garmin or a PLB for years, glad to see it's finally coming.
