STAY AWAY from this company STAY AWAY from this company! Their device "Spot GPS" does not work most of the time. We've tested it. Despite cancelling my subscription over a year ago, they did the following: 1) Billed my credit card 2) Charged an even higher amount 3) Never sent any notification 4) Never sent any receipt 5) Customer service was slow, they lied, they attempted to gaslight me, and finally begrudgingly refunded my money weeks later ONLY after I reported them for FRAUD to my credit card company. STAY AWAY! THere are better products out there.

Borderline fraudulent billing practices So, apparently my Spot tracker service got renewed each year for over 6 years (my mistake that I didn't check my credit card bills more thoroughly). I am certain that I tried to cancel the service back in 2014 after using it for a very narrowly defined purpose. No notification via mail, almost impossible to cancel now. I will blacklist them with my CC company and suggest to my outdoor shop to at least warn people when selling that product.

Absolutely horrid Absolutely horrid. Have you ever had customer service so scammy they outsource to Africa? Ever had a situation with any reputable company that they absolutely WILL NOT cancel your subscription under any circumstances and if you want to get out you need to claim fraud with your credit card company and get a whole new card? Me either until now. This company is a syphilitic corpuscle. Don't touch it with a ten foot pole.

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).

UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNRELIABLE I’ve been using SPOT Gen3 and Tracker since 2013. Plain Tracker/Tracer for my Down Syndrome son - to keep tabs on him as he moved around on our 600 acre ranch in the Alaska wilderness. Worked ok for that need. I found an app called SPOT BUDDY which worked great since they use Apple Maps for our area and it was clearer than the google maps. The SPOT app is crap btw. SPOT GEN3 was ok but granted - we live in the boondocks and satellites/GPS coverage are not super. Many times folks/friends did not get my messages. They could track me on google maps and I used premade texts as to my whereabouts. Never had to use SOS or even Help from friends. The concept is ok but business practices are definitely shady and unprofessional. To second some of the negative reviews that go back to 2014: - Almost never answer texts on their website by or emails. I’ve only been able to get a human ONCE IN ALMOST 10 years. - Unexplained duplicate $40 charges on my card. When I FINALLY did get a person on the line they tried to barter and haggle with me… unprofessional 😩 Nevertheless I kept the service until I lost my SPOT3 on the Alaska range. Now it’s impossible to cancel my subscription bc they are either out of business or completely fraudulent. 😱 I might have to change my card if I see another charge on it. Looking for another GPS tracker that won’t break my wallet n or get a RockyTalkie radio. Frustrated in Alaska 2/2023
