Hi, me and my wife are thinking of getting mini2, or messenger or mini. that's still undecided (due to costs, especially option to buy used mini1).
But question would be working for all 3 devices etc.
1. i know ideal situation is to have view of clear sky to send msgs, but where we hike it would be tall thick coverage of trees - how likely it is that it will still work? - lets go with example of amazon jungle - would device still work under those thick trees?
2. in one of the videos someone said that some txt msgs take even like 20-30min or longer to send - and mentioned something that maybe there is a que of users sending/using satelite bandwith and that is the reason for delay. -> is this true? is there some kind of avarage send/receive time?
3. assuming someone will press sos button to get help (and in some videos it says emergency services will reach back to u to get more info) what happens if the person that presses the SOS button did this after falling dawn etc, and it was their last effort before they faint etc. and wont be able to reply. Will help be still sent/considered needed or will services just cancel it?
4. if pressing sos button is there an option to get text msg to selected person about it, ie. i press sos on my mtb trip, and activate sos - would my wife know it - is there option for it.
