Trail Pony

Two plans, both unlimited.

Ask as much as you like on either one. Nothing on our side counts your messages.

Monthly

  • Pause between trips, and nothing is charged until you resume
  • Resume from your account, or text resume from the field
  • Your address and kept trips stay yours

Trip pass

US$20 for 14 days

  • Unlimited messages for 14 days
  • Ends by itself, so there's nothing to cancel
  • Everything the monthly plan answers, for one trip

Private beta: invitees are set up now; anyone else can create an account and finish when it opens.

Your satellite plan still counts

Each question you send and each reply is a message on your satellite plan, like any text. So you choose the longest an answer may be, and a short answer never uses more than it needs.

Longest answer, in messages

On a pay-per-message satellite plan you choose one to three, and it starts at two. On an unlimited satellite plan, up to five. Change it any time from your account.

Questions about paying

Does it cost me messages?

Each question you send and each reply count against your satellite plan, like any text. Tell us your plan when you sign up, unlimited or pay-per-message, and answers are sized to match. On a pay-per-message plan, answers default to two messages at most.

Is there a message limit?

No. Both plans are unlimited, so there's nothing to count on our side. Your satellite plan still counts what you send and receive, so you choose how long answers are, one to five messages.

Can I pause it between trips?

Yes. Pause the monthly plan any time and resume with one text, or buy a 14-day trip pass instead.

What if I cancel?

Your plan runs to the end of the month you've paid for and isn't charged again. Your address stays yours, and kept trips stay until you delete them.
