I suppose I should've checked my comments earlier:

I didn't bother getting one with a plan (seemed like a waste), I just have it for emergencies.

If you do buy one then make sure to check the battery expiration date, also good to check it when you buy a "new" battery. Last time I bought a new battery it was over a year old (sent it back).

For anyone buying a PLB, make sure it broadcasts at 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz (long range / short range)
