I have an InReach Mini 2. It is not necessarily useful. It depends on where you are. Don't make any assumptions about it until you've done research.

You'll find some places have only voluntary services and the phone is likely only manned on week days on limited hours. If you're lucky there might be a gmail address you can hit. No joke.

It might not be useful in Afghanistan or Somalia, but it has a pretty wide coverage. Even if it's a niche product.

Once satellite communication is truly accessible to everyone, I expect other companies to compete in this area.
