We could message our kids anytime and the phone app works very well. With Zoleo you get a proper phone number anyone can SMS you even without app. But app gives you longer message length so is best to use. Last year were walking in the Pyrenees and I was sick for a few days mid walk. I went back to town and met up wife a few days later. So continued on solo sending zoleo one button check in's a couple of times a day which include co-ordinates. Then app messaged at night when at next refugee. There was no phone signal at all during this section of the walk...so a great solution for us. Garmin etc all work well, it's just a matter of which best supports your planned usage. For us, the good messaging app and cheap suspend mode are key features.
