[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 297534, member: 4105"] I had a spot for years, and yes it does everything you mention. However, with mine, the one and only time I really needed it, (I rolled my truck out bush) I hit the 2nd pre recorded message, "I'm OK but need assistance". It sent this message to my wife and a few friends no worries, but with a lat and long of 000 000 000. I had an extremely upset wife that knew I needed help but no idea where I was. It was only when I walked to a phone that I could call her and put her at ease and let her know where to come and get me. Needless to say the spot subscription was cancelled and I threw the thing out. Since I have bought a sat phone. Spots excuse was that I must have been under trees, which I wasn't. I mean the message got out, but the location didn't. My advise, personally, don't trust them, have an alternative. [/QUOTE]
