InReach Aviation Plan
The InReach Aviation plan sounds like the best option when comparing to other plans but it is not mentioned on their website nor offered as a subscription option unless specifically requested by phone. I am not sure why. Also it seem that the aviation plan monthly rates offered by phone are almost double from what is listed on Cumulus Soaring. Did other have the same experience?

InReach Aviation Plan
I just picked up an inreach when my spot subscription expired.
I got the 24.95 a month recreation plan, unlimited 10 minute tracking, 40 text messages a month. I see this as a nice upgrade from the spot even with 10 minute tracking, as the tracking on this is far more reliable. I looked at the aviation plans, if you really need one minute tracking be prepared to spend some big bucks on your subscription. The two way messaging(texting)via satellite when you are out of cell tower range is my main reason for switching. |

The aviation plan is no longer more attractive than the recreation plan at the price they quoted me unless you need more frequent tracking. But the older aviation plan was cheaper than the recreation plan for 10 min interval, and would have cost the same as the spot subscription plan. But it nearly doubled now. Perhaps I was quoted wrongly over the phone. Still has many benefits over Spot no doubt. Ramy |

InReach Aviation Plan
The Aviation plans have changed to Enterprise plans as of April 1st. They're basically the same for the most part, but the price has gone up a few dollars. Paul sent me a PDF describing the plans and I called to subscribe yesterday.

Sure it is only few bucks more per month, but this translates to nearly twice the annual cost, or at least twice than spot. What am I missing? I am not saying the added benefit of the inReach vs Spot does not justify the extra cost, but it does come now with significant increase. Ramy |

Ramy OK, after further reading I see that they added an option to suspend. So for those who fly 6 month or so it is indeed better. For those unfortunates who flies year around it is now more expensive ;-) Ramy |

InReach Aviation Plan
Hi Ramy,
Good question. The prices for the aviation plan went up a bit, but I think that is mainly because the GEOS 24/7 SOS monitoring service was formerly an extra cost adder and is not included. I'm not happy that the costs went up, but I like that some of the hidden fees are no longer hidden. I like that now it is possible to suspend aviation plan for only $5/month during the non-flying season. That is a great deal here in Minnesota! It is free to suspend the Freedom plan for any number of months. I like that for pilots that are OK with 10 minute updates, the Freedom and Annual Contract plans offer reasonably priced service with unlimited tracking. That was not an option in the past. Note: I don't sell the service plans. I don't get any income from the service plans. I only sell (and fly with) the hardware. Best Regards, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. ____________________________________________ "Ramy" wrote in message ... Paul, can you clarify why you are very happy with the change?
