HMD’s OffGrid puts a satellite communicator on your keychain.

Weighing 60 grams with three days of battery life, the OffGrid connects to satellite services so you can send texts or safety check-ins, contact emergency services, and share your location while using your smartphone off the grid.

It’s $200, but requires a subscription that starts at $79.99/year for 350 messages, or $14.99/month for unlimited satellite messaging.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission.
