Apple and AAA teamed up to allow users of the iPhone 14 and 15 Pros to message AAA for roadside service when out of cellular range. AAA members get the roadside service per the regular part of their plan. Non AAA members would pay out of pocket. Apple isn't charging for the sat service for at least the first two years. https://newsroom.aaa.com/2023/09/aa...ugh-apples-roadside-assistance-via-satellite/
Of course AAA doesn't do offroad tows, but hey...if you can limp it out to the road this would help.
I hope the competition (hello? Garmin? can you hear me now?) responds and allows say an Inreach message to their dispatcher GEOS to do OFFroadside service. It's not really life threatening in most situations, but it can be an emergency of sorts, so it would be a nice option to have. They ping say Matt's Offroad and out he comes to yank you off that rock.
