yeah, and shit 11 years at least they may have true global coverage. I'm holding out hope that by then, satellite phones will be affordable.
Yeah, mine has a few more buttons like custom message and different version of help buttons. The old one has a 911 SOS function that calls 911 and signals who you want for help, mine has that and then has just a Help function. The help function is a non life threatening help type thing.

It also has much better battery life. I think mine is suppose to last 7 days of continuous tracking. It goes forever (like a month) with just random custom checkins.

Yeah, a sat phone would be your best bet.
