Is it +44 - a UK number? SPOT apparently is.

Edit - I just found this link:

Mine comes from a +44 number

Big question is who pays (does anyone pay) for messengers sent to the unit from a phone. I see SPOT supply a UK mobile number, I’m unsure about InReach. Does this mean folk who send messages to me get them included in their normal plan? Do I pay to receive messages on either system? In theory..... ...

After having finished in the garden I was watching YouTube (?). Discovered a new video from Bikepacking.com; always good for a watch. Video mentioned that Specialized had dropped its ambassador program. Off to the bikepacking.com website I went hunting for the article. https://bikepacking.com/news/s...

However that is the "plus" version.

Apart from the external SD card slot, what's the 1030 got that the plus hasn't?

the lack of micro SD card of the plus is the deal breaker.

Thanks

Goretex paclite jacket and trousers

In fact bought a new pair of trousers ready for the Goldilock next week and the HT550 in two weeks.
Cycling tends to ruin trousers, so treat as disposable

planning is part of the adventure; whether the route in Garmin Basecamp, or kit in Excel.
