Yeah this would be far more worthwhile to get than a sat phone imo and way more affordable, and if you got a pair or something, it would provide you with texting capability around the cabin, which would seem a even more routine use than for txting people back in the cities. Like if someone is going riding and another is staying at the cabin but wants to meet up later, you could txt locations and such... Or if/when someone breaks down/runs out of gas and is left behind.
