Lizard Wizard, June 1, 2012
I travel extensively in the deserts of Nevada, eastern California, and Oregon for field research and am often out of cell-phone service. I also take college students along, many of whom have never been in such remote areas. I use the spot (the original model purchased 3 years ago) on a daily basis while on these trips to notify both my family and the families of students where we are (much to their alarm at times - "there aren't any roads to get there!"). This has been a great aid to alleviating fears of friends and families. Many F&F start anticipating the signals coming just to watch progress. I can't say that the device is fool-proof, but it has proved very useful. I have never used the Help or SOS buttons.

Service was $99yr. I was charged $145. for this coming year. The crazy part is the yearly subscription on their site says $99. $99? $145? Hmmmm, seems to be a bit of a discrepancy and a rip off. It says tracking is included in the $99 fee but it is NOT. That was a rip off!!!! and pissed me off.

I was one of the first few thousand to get a messenger. At the beginning the SPOT customer service was rude or non-existent. Had it from May 2009 until today, April 2011. On quite a few outings it would acquire a good signal at home before heading out and send a test message only about 50% of the time. During the hike/bike/whatever it would not acquire a signal the majority of the time, probably over 50% of the time, no signal, no tracking when I got home to check it online, and no messages to recipients. Service was $99yr. I just cancelled moments ago because with no notification ( I get their newsletter and promos via email frequently) I was charged $162.93 for this coming year. The crazy part is the yearly subscription on their site says $99. $99? $162? Hmmmm, seems to be a bit of a discrepancy. Too much money for a device that isn't reliable.
ATV Trainer, December 15, 2010
Use it for ATVing in the back country. Have had mine for nearly 3 years and while I have had full services, it only sent half of the tracking messages at best to my contacts, so I went back to the basic service. I now send a message when I begin and again when I end my rides. I strongly suggest you leave the unit on for quite some time after you push the OK button - don't assume a successful send to signal the end of your ride. Nice way to keep family informed that you are OK, however it worries me that a 911 emergency contact may never be sent because of vegatation cover.
