I just saw an ad for this in a magazine the other day and was wondering if anyone else has heard of it? Looks pretty cool, you buy the device and then download an app onto your phone. If you are in the mountains with no cell phone reception, you connect the device to your phone via bluetooth and by using them together, you are able to send messages via satellite. From what I can tell, you can't receive messages but if you are hunting alone, you can send messages daily to let family or friends know that you are doing ok. You could also use it to have someone come help pack out an animal or if you found yourself in an emergency, you could send for emergency help.
Might be a great way for a solo hunter to be able to have more peace of mind when out by yourself.
