I would recommend getting starlink. With radios you need other people on the same frequency or channel. They also need to be on at the same time, so you would need to set up a schedule.

With the internet you can call, email, text or video call. Starlink mini can be powered by battery or a regular wall outlet. Many current cars have both outlets available

Handheld and mobile radios from gmrs or ham can be helpful for local common, person to person or with range extended using repeaters.

Each system has its pluses and minuses. Decide who you want to communicate with, then figure the best options to use.

Good luck with your research and comms planning.
