Both devices require a subscription, but have you checked the cancellation fees? Zoleo is more flexible, while Garmin seems to lock you in more, which could affect long-term costs.
True! And that might deter someone who’s unsure about their outdoor plans. Still, the Garmin does offer superior customer support, which is something I value.
Also, have you thought about maintenance costs? Garmin’s batteries last longer, so fewer replacements, while Zoleo might seem cheaper upfront but could add costs over time.
True, but a friend of mine joked that owning a Garmin is like owning a fine watch—great value over time!
Haha, good analogy! But isn’t it funny how tech keeps evolving? Ten years ago, we thought a basic satellite phone was enough. Now, we have all these features!
So true! It’s like every year brings new tech! Will future generations even need dedicated devices like these?

I think it’s safe to say that while we might not need them, many will still want them for peace of mind. Each has its loyal fanbase, so it’s worthwhile to consider actual use.
Great insights everyone! Just thinking: A used Garmin could still function well for years, so consider long-term usage too before deciding.
