Garmin inreach or Zoleo?

I've had both and far prefer the zoleo, with inreach messages going both ways occasionally seem to just drop into the void, or they arrive 2 days laterplus the earthmate app is so bloated with things you don't need that it barely functions.
Zoleo is fast, simple, and reliable, really all you want out of a sat messanger.

I like my inreach mini, new plan is $8 a month. Do pay a bit more on months I text. I like it as it links to my phone and I can text from phone, I also like I can get weather forecasts. Tried the new iPhone satellite text feature and it did not work as good as inreach. Probably will keep inreach even once phones get better with satellite texts, use it as a backup if phone dies.

I haven’t tried someone but I think the inreach messenger does what you describe.
