My brother has a SPOT Satellite Messenger, however I was under the illusion that the text messaging would send a message that could be input while at sea, this does not seem to be possible, unless you have Internet connection, in which case you don’t really need SPOT.
It appears to me that when the text messaging works, apparently available in UK from sometime in May, it only sends a predefined message to the recipients. If I am wrong please someone tell me, and also explain how one enters the text message while at sea.
Apart from the above the unit does work well and the Google Earth connection is also useful. SPOT is available from a number of UK suppliers, just Google “SPOT Satellite Messenger”, however there are some grey imports which may not have the same support.
Good luck to you all and I hope none of you need to send any message other than “I am OK”.
