Many people enjoy hiking.
I am also the one who often go hiking / backcountry skiing. Even the coverage of mobile network is improving, there are many areas where the coverage is not there.
In case some emergency, it is better to prepare a way to communicate with other people in anywhere!
I mentioned about Amateur Radio before. Although Amatueur radio requires a license to use it, InReach does not require any license and a better coverage than Amatueur radio.
You may want to consider to have InReach for your future hiking!

Emergency communication?
The mobile network coverage is getting better, however, areas where people visit for hiking do not have very good coverage. You may want to have an emergency communication method just in case, such as loosing your way, unexpected accident and etc.
One of good systems is Garmin In Reach which uses a satellite network for such communication.

InReach for emergency communication
What is convenient?
Have you heard about satellite communication system?
It is a system using a satellite network and many people believe it is expensive.
InReach is a system to send a text message to other mobile devices such as smart phones and e-mails.
Even if the typical mobile network is out of coverage, it can work if you can see sky!
Thus, it would be very reliable emergency communication system.
The cost is starting from just US$ 11.95 a month as of May 2019., which is not very expensive to maintain.
Also you may have a rescue plan which can an emergency resucue cost.
The plan also starts about US$ 200 a year. It may cover up to US$ 100,000 for rescue.

If you air-lifted by chopper, depending on a case, it could be very expensive for you.
It would be safe to have such plan just in case.
It is possible that you cannot move by yourself due to an accident.
You can ask a rescue by pusshing "SOS" button, then they will start rescue based on a location
provided by its GPS.
You never know what happens to you in hiking
It is very hard to predict unexpected accidents during hiking such as falling rocks, avalanche and etc.
Anything could happen any time!
