Great for pilots that need to stay in touch

I am a corporate pilot. I fly medium size jets. I wanted to be able to text my wife and company from the air. I was skeptical about it working consistently enough and long lag times.
This little box is amazing. It works perfect. Messages are received and sent with hardly any lag time. I place it in the front of the cockpit on the top panel. I’m extremely happy with it!

I just got home from my hunt. This device was awesome. I was able to update my wife and family with daily notifications.
The one issue I have is with the quality of the charging cable. Mine is already splitting and I just purchased it. It is very cheap, and I feel it should be a lot more rugged considering this will be used mostly by hunters and backcountry folks.
If y’all can fix this problem then I wouldn’t have anything bad to say about it!
Finally got my hands on the new Garmin InReach Messenger this weekend for a last minute hunting trip. Safe to say that I will never travel without an SOS device again. This thing gave me such a sense of security and safety while in the backcountry and allowed me to sty in touch with my friends and family 24/7. Best past is that I only went though 4% of the battery life in a single day. Could not recommend enough.
