What help are free wi-fi and VPNs with no Internet connection ?

With free wi-fi and VPNs there is no place for Apple’s Satellite Emergency SOS

Bullitt Satellite Messenger Motorola Defy Satellite Link, Two way Satellite connection for any smartphone, tablet..

New motorola defy satellite link Bluetooth connected device with satellite messaging unveiled at MWC 2023

Bullitt and Motorola debut a universal Bluetooth device using the ‘Bullitt Satellite Messenger’ service, with advanced two-way satellite messaging technology, location sharing and SOS assistance.

..The motorola defy satellite link is a compact, lightweight, Bluetooth accessory with a handy attachment loop that allows any Android or iOS device* to connect to the Bullitt Satellite Messenger application and utilize its full functionality, including true two-way messaging over satellite, as well as location sharing and SOS assistance.

The tough, pocket-friendly device has passed Mil-Spec 810H testing and is waterproof and dustproof with an IP68 rating. It has a 600mAh battery, providing sufficient battery life for multiple days of use. The design includes a physical SOS and location ‘Check In’ button, allowing it to offer some functions even when apart from its paired smartphone…

MOTOROLA DEFY: PRICING:

Perhaps the most impressive part about the Defy satellite link is the price. In the UK, you’ll be able to get the unit alone for just £99 / $99. That’s remarkably good value for money, particularly if you don’t want to shell out and switch handsets just to get satellite connectivity.

There’s also a bundle on offer, which will snag you the Defy and a year of the Essentials Messaging service plan, for just £149 / $149. For me, this represents the best value for money, and is likely to be the most popular option. It’s an effortless, plug-and-play style offering, with 30 messages per month, and the SOS Assist.

All of that for less than £150 seems like a no-brainer for anyone who spends time out of signal range. It’s perfectly priced for a great gift when Christmas rolls around, too. The Motorola Defy will be available from Q2 2023.

* Paranoid ? Bullitt is a US company. Motorola belongs to Lenovo, Chinese company controlled by Chinese government.
Your every location and messages transmitted/received will be sent to the NSA & Chinese Communist Party. /s

ps. Apple’s build-in Emergency SOS service is free for 2 years.

We’ve gone from a satellite internet service to an SOS service. Are you sure these belong in the same thread?
