I'm interested in getting an inReach Mini 2. Looking at the subscription plans, it doesn't look like any of them work the way I envision using the device. I want to put the thing aside and forget about it until I need it, then turn it on and it works. On the surface the monthly consumer safety plan would seem to be the closest thing to what I want. But it's not clear that it will work the way I want. I want to pay the annual program fee($34.95) and then when I need to use it, I want to turn it on and it work. Obviously, when I turn it on I would be charged the monthly fee. The key is, it has to work without me taking any action outside of the device itself. The assumption is that I don't have access to the internet through another device. Assume my phone's not working and I have no internet access available. I've seen mention of suspending your subscription and restarting it. But I've not seen whether that can be accomplished with the device itself or whether you need to access the account from a phone or computer to suspend/activate your subscription. So my question is, can I set up a subscription such that I'm paying a nominal amount of money per year ($34.95 + maybe $15 for a suspended monthly subscription) and have the phone work when I turn it on?
