It’s not exactly the same no, but it could fill a similar role cheaply by giving you a way to communicate youre in trouble that also has your GPS when/if you have no cell service.
$50-100 to “kind of do a similar job” over and over vs $400 single use “really gets that shit done.” In an emergency the latter is preferable, but the former ain’t exactly bad either.
