I agree it would be great to have WhatsApp and google maps with satellite service when cellular is not available.

I just noticed that free Apple TV comes with our plan. I did not know that.
You might double check the fine print, I believe on the One plans (which I'm on as well) the Apple TV offer is just for 6 months, not ongoing.

Also, paying $10 a month for satellite coverage doesn't seem like a very good ROI unless you are really in environments frequently that require you to use it (e.g. hiking, etc.) but to each their own I guess. However, I always look at monetary spend as an opportunity cost and I can certainly think of better things to spend $120 per/year on (perhaps on Apple TV after your 6 month trial runs out ) and I certainly don't spend money on something that I'm not sure what benefit I'm deriving from it. Have you considered just subscribing to the feature, if you genuinely need it, just during months that you might use it?
