I used one when moving my boat from Fiji to The Philippines.

Great for family to follow along, sending batch automatic messages that one is OK, and for emergency SMS capability.
Sold it at the end of the trip as I intend to buy a Iridium device with better functionality and receive weather without having to rely on spotty HF radio

I can see it would provide peace of mind in an emergency if in the boonies

There are various Delorme plans depending where in the world you can open an account, with some countries better than others
