    Customers are mixed about the value of the location tracker. Some mention that it's well worth the price and the affordable annual service fee. They also appreciate the reasonable monthly plans and the clear explanations of all services. However, others say that it is absolutely worthless, a huge waste of space and money, and a bust.

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the location tracker. Some mention that it was perfect and did exactly what they needed it to, while others say that it doesn't work anywhere the device can pick up a signal. The tracking function is accurate, but some customers say that the real-time tracking of SPOT is a joke. The service is an added charge, and the tracker is almost useless when it loses its signal.

    46 customers mention18 positive28 negative

    Customers are mixed about the signal strength of the location tracker. Some mention that it can send regular text messages through, which is a good feature. They also say that the unit successfully sent predefined messages, location tracks, and received custom messages. However, others say that sometimes messages won't actually be sent or received for long periods of time due to poor reception.

    "...Spot X has issues sending text messages and check ins to 5G enabled smartphones that are in a 5G area...." Read more

    "...This was by far the best deal out there. Plus you get to send unlimited check in messages and unlimited preset messages..." Read more

    "...is able to send messages all day but it absolutely will not receive them in any location that has cell network 5G. The 5G interferes with the signal...." Read more

    "...this works essentially the same way except with the convenience of sending custom text messages (along with preloaded ones) to individual contacts..." Read more

    40 customers mention27 positive13 negative

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the location tracker. Some mention that it's straightforward, easy to set up, and activate. However, others say that it is cumbersome, hard to set it up, has poor instructions, and is finicky.

    "...The set up process was easy, although set aside some time to enter your contacts and set up predefined messages. The bluetooth to phone is great...." Read more

    "...The Spot Trace was easy to activate and pretty much ready to use within minutes of receiving it...." Read more

    "A little complicated to set up but all worked well after I figured it out." Read more

    "...Once you've activated & subscribed the unit is fairly intuitive...." Read more

    38 customers mention14 positive24 negative

    Customers are mixed about the battery life of the location tracker. Some mention that it saves battery, while others say that it lasts just a few days and needs to be recharged. Some say that the device eats up batteries like crazy and turns off at random.

    "...The Gen3 did start to fail a bit, turning off at random, quit tracking even though I would refresh/update...." Read more

    32 customers mention4 positive28 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the service provided by the location tracker. They mention that the messaging is very slow, the uploading of data to the satellites can take a very long time, and the functions are slow. The Bluetooth range is very limited, and it does not send messages always. When it moves outside, the signal is tracked with a certain delay. Overall, customers are disappointed with the performance of the product.

    "...more than 10 min, the problem of this device is to pair whit gps signal could be delayed...." Read more

    "...battery status is only reported when low• speed is not reported•..." Read more

    "...It freezes occasionally. And it can take a very long time to upload data to the satellites...." Read more

    "...The keys are small, (it is a full QWERTY keyboard) and typing in messages takes a little longer than on a smartphone...." Read more

    I like not having to use a phone to message!
    5 Stars
    I like not having to use a phone to message!
    I already have several SPOT Gen 3's, so it made no sense to go to a different service.I like that I CAN use the Bluetooth and attach my phone to it, but I really like that I don't HAVE to attach my phone to it. Yes, the buttons are small. Yes, the backlighting could be better, but being able to message directly from the device is most important to me. And so far, the battery life is as advertised!I did go with the yearly unlimited message (and rescue) plan, but I spend a LOT of time out in the middle of nowhere.... I've only had it a few weeks, and I would have blown past the message limit easily. Does everyone need that plan? No. Everyone needs to look at where they go, and how much they need to message.This is a nice product. It boots up quicky and after an initial satellite find, it locks on really quickly. I know this will vary from location to location, but so far it's only taken a few minutes to get GPS. And it usually (again, this can vary widely), takes only a few minutes to send and receive texts to and from the SPOT.I would definitely recommend this to anyone that already has other SPOT devices, and needs the ability to text directly from the device. And if this is your first tracking/satellite device, you can't go wrong.I do sort of wish it had a AA battery back up, but I just carry a 10000 mAh pack. Make sure you have the charge cable though.Overall thoughts:Great piece of gear if you get remote. It makes it easy to keep my family in the know to where I'm at with the tracking function, and if I need them, or they need me, it's just a text away.I'm already trying to talk my hunting party into get one....I would definitely recommend this item, and buy it again.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Affordable Satellite Messenger (edited by owner)
    Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2021
    I'm really pleased with this device and service. For me it has more functions than I expected. Programmable for any occasion, 14 predefined messages, 250 waypoints and 70 contacts is way more than I will need.
    First, you need to know what this is: It is a satellite 2-way messaging unit with several other functions. It's not a cell phone and will not work as fast as one. Takes time and need clear sky view for some minutes in order to send a message and confirm.
    That been said, I find this unit affordable for day to day users. Normally satellite communications are very expensive, but Globalstar made this unit at a great price and also service is very affordable for an emergency communications device. Living in Puerto Rico south part of the island I know how frustrating it is to lose cell phone signal often. Now I have peace of mind having my SpotX with me.
    Unit sometimes is not as responsive as expected. Normal for sturdy, shock proof and waterproof devices.
    UPDATE: after several months of use, the SpotX has proven to be an effective way of communication where there is no cell phone coverage. It has worked even inside small planes. Looking for high ground greatly increases time of transmission.
