From my sale listing on Backpacker Flea Market
SpotX satellite messenger. 2018 model. One owner. Not Bluetooth, so it does not need or work with a cellular phone. It will message back and forth with your cell phone. Practice is great! Spot X has their own EIN, so SMS messages and emails go directly to cell phones and email. Good condition. Folks with your number and Spot email address could ping you (140 character limit). I had only a handful; 3-4 messages in three years did not go through, but having a clear view of the sky and let it sit in the open is a must. Tracking with the SpotX is not as good as Gen lll Spot. If you are looking to try satellite messaging and SOS functions, this unit is a good starter. I upgraded to Zeleo. Activation through FIND ME SPOT web page. Includes charger and one USB mini cord for data and charging. Priced to move at $40 US, includes shipping CONUS. PayPal only. Message seller.
If the device keyboard and screen was a robust as the Blackberry's or Treo's I used a dozen years ago I might have kept it. In 2018, if it solved the first two issues and used Iridium instead of Globstar network, it would have ate Garmin alive. But it was Globstar's baby and will die.
