Thread: PLB and GPS or just an inReach?

Hope this isn't too much of a thread-jack, but has anyone used the Zoleo sat communicator that Ol' Skippers Mate sells? They look good, are more affordable than anything Garmin, and work with the phone you will most likely have with you anyway, so keen to hear experiences as an alternative to an InReach.

I have an old Gen3 Spot Tracker, and the Zoleo subscription looks to be about the same as Spot, but obvs you are able to communicate via a phone app with Zoleo. Plan for me (when funds allow) is a PLB + Zoleo/phone... in addition to map and compass.
