Any update on the new phone options?
I really like my cheap ruggedized iden phone. As a back up phone with extended battery, text messaging and tracking for $40/year for the phone and $60 for tracking.
My prioritized criteria:
reliable
nearly universal coverage (so cannot be limited to higher frequency bands as rural coverage is non existent)
Long battery life
Inexpensive operation (phone minutes, texts and especially data)
inexpensive ruggedized device.
My current tracker does all of the above except for battery life and coverage. I spent $50 for phone, extended battery, and activation. $10/3months for boost service and $60/year for accutracking. Much more cost than that SPOT or garmin tracker start to become more attractive.
