Push a button, wife gets an "okay" message whenever I want to send one. I just have the basic stuff, not that tracking thing.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960740006971546039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-20292630757702986732008-01-10T19:49:00.000-08:002008-01-10T19:49:00.000-08:00Will, Getting my hands on a SPOT soon, will let...Will, <BR/> Getting my hands on a SPOT soon, will let you know how it goes in and around Canmore, icefields, etc... It really is a simple idea, as text messages are sent in blocks anyhow, the time required to stay in contact with the satellite is not very long, just pieced together on the other end.

Sounds like Kyle is having some fun with it, I'd be curious if anyone else has used it?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>WGUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758084516426195214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-66694283533942563602007-12-26T09:09:00.000-08:002007-12-26T09:09:00.000-08:00Brad, I can't figure out from your posting whether...Brad, I can't figure out from your posting whether the SPOT device didn't work or if your Globalstar satellite phone didn't work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-61016079535305484652007-12-25T15:32:00.000-08:002007-12-25T15:32:00.000-08:00Gobalstar told the Rafting company i worked for ba...Gobalstar told the Rafting company i worked for back in june that they would fix the probelms they had by end of july. we canceled our sat phone service in end of july when now change happened.Not once in 6 months did it work for us. It caused us a few probelms, but if this serivce works well then it would be pretty damn good to have.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13202265186593790808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-5591869658150249252007-12-23T09:08:00.000-08:002007-12-23T09:08:00.000-08:00I pick up a SPOT last week and have been playing w...I pick up a SPOT last week and have been playing with it , so far it works as advertised and is great for spamming your buddies at work when your out playing with the "ok" feature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697721.post-51755675466552311612007-12-22T18:43:00.000-08:002007-12-22T18:43:00.000-08:00Yay Yay Yay!!!
