paulmbowers 236 Posted December 3, 2021 I've been using BOTH SPOT and InReach for many years. I started with SPOT alone, added InReach and kept both for redundancy. And it's expensive. This year, like each one before it, I received an auto-bill my new annual subscription fee : $249 This year, like each before it, I called SPOT, explained that $249 was far too much, and I'd like to disconnect my service. This year, like each year before, I asked and they matched the previous year's rate of $85. From $249 to $85. One phone call. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine had already cleared at $249 two days ago (I was out riding with some misfits, and couldn't make the call), they issued a credit back to my card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneeker 29 Posted December 3, 2021 I recently acquired a satellite messenger thingy. I went with a newer company called Zoleo. When researching the different sat services one statement jumped out at me: "Spot account support is like a used car salesman crossed with a Cox cable customer service rep." I passed on Spot.
