I purchased this for my husband to take on an 8 day trip to the northern most part of Maine where there is 0 cell service. purchased . So glad I did. its rugged and easy to use. The service was easy to activate. a little pricey but worth it for the piece of mind . We have been able to communicate back and forth easily , even in rainy weather.

I just got my SPOT X and am trying it out. So far so good. It's a bit bigger than I thought, but really solid. Messages I sent were received surprisingly quickly. I haven't used it yet to fetch messages, but will try that this weekend. My only gripe is that the keyboard is pretty small and takes some getting used to, but the tactile feel is good. I'm sure I'll get used to it in time. Overall, I am very happy to be able to send and retrieve messages anywhere I go.

I like my spotx messenger. It brings a great sense of peace knowing I can be in touch with family, friends, co-workers, or emergency support. I use it when I’m snowmaching or flying. Allows my wife to see my progress as well as contact me if we need it. The free pre-defined messages are neat in that it basically allows me to communicate most of what I need without even costing individual messages. I use the flex plan, as it allows me to turn it on or off, month by month, as needed, and pocket the difference, but I’ve found that I use it enough that I almost never have a span where I can cancel the membership. As far as ease of use, I find that it’s probably not a good fit for someone who is not tech savvy, unless someone sets it up for them and teaches them the specific ways to program the unit, use pre-defined messages, turn on or off the tracking feature, and interval, and explain the benefits and drawbacks of each setting. Hope this helps! Scooter in AlaskaRead full review

I love my Spot X. From the deep backcountry to road trips without cell service, it is easy to stay connected (when you need to).

If you have to be out of cell range this is the device you can use, I’ve used this brand and their service with other devises they offer and it’s been great.
