Pleased with the Spot X I am now on my second year of using the Spot X unit. I am amazed at the amount of negative reviews on Spot as I have not have issues with customer service, payment, texting, tracking, custom messages, etc. Unit has performed above expectations but yes, their is a steep learning curve and I think that is why it gets bad reviews. When I first bought the unit, I studied the manual and found various instructional videos online and it all came together. I am definitely pleased with the unit.

Awful customer service Awful customer service. Cannot write coherently, and said "since you are complaining..." which everyone knows is not proper form. Product needing a monthly subscription was not at all obvious from the product listing. Then finding out they charge a $30 activation fee on top of a large fee to not do a yearly subscription was a bummer. This is not doable in today's economy. Customer service rep was totally condescending in his attitude (Carlos) about how safety was worth it. Well, yes it is, if you have the money. But this is so tone deaf to most of us struggling to feed our family. Will be returning the product

The concept of a Spot device is great, but.... The concept of a Spot device is great. People know where you are, you can send messages and get help if needed. There are several choices available in addition to Spot. I would strongly recommend InReach. From my personal experience there are several reasons. 1. Better messaging 2. Better pricing packages 3. No "ambush" auto renewal billing 4. Better and much more responsive customer service 5. Better user experience (ease of use, set up, reliability).

I think they are out of business I think they are out of business? They just stopped billing me in Feb and I didn't notice until today. I called their customer service twice. After holding for five and eight minutes respectively, there was nothing but silence on their end of the line, then a robot script asking if I wanted to complete a post call survey. I tried there chat service and no one answered there either. You will certainly die if you depend on this company to be there for you. Unbelievable.

These thieves billed my credit card… These thieves billed my credit card without my permission. Their business practices are disgusting. Buyer be VERY aware. If you are looking for a tracker - go check out Garmin Inreach - Good product and honest customer service, (Update - I have spoken with their customer service group and they have agreed to reimburse my CC account within 14 days. If this happens I will delete this post and revise my assessment. It remains a terrible practice to suck people into automatic renewals,)
