Yeah - my experience with them as well to be honest. That's why I am Spark for main plan (could go 2deg but the coverage at home isn't as good) and 1NZ gets prepay only. If 2D had better coverage out of the main centers I'd roll with them in preference to 1NZ just on customer service.

I was hiking along Subime Hut, West Sabine Hut, Blue Lake Hut, and Lake Constance last week . I could not get the satellite connection.

For some perspective I’ve picked up a guy off the Cascade Track last year, he used the native Apple satellite SOS (Globalstar, so not Starlink). That’s not too far from your route as the crow flies.
He was messaging either St John or the police flat out, I forget which one sorry.

I just used the sat messaging feature today at work on my iphone with one nz i work in the forest and have no signal all day so was surprised to get a txt come thru i sent multiple txts from inside my digger and they sent straight away
