The Motorola Defy Satellite Link still functions after Bullitt Group went under, but service continuity depends on whether the satellite network provider keeps operations running. I tested messaging, SOS, and tracking to see if the device remains reliable for backcountry communication. If you already own one, it may still work for now, but long-term support is uncertain. For new buyers, devices with stable backing like the Garmin inReach offer more reliable service guarantees.
