Spot phone works very well in the cold.Does the spot phone handle the cold or does the battery die?
Spot phone works very well in the cold.
Spent 25min on hold with 911 on the side of the mountain at -22c. And still had life.
Boafeng batteries were still hanging in there but we're starting to dwindle.
Cell phone batteries are useless,don't rely on them for anything other than a lithium fire.
It's the globstar one.Spot makes a phone now??
Stored in my back pack.Was the phone cold all day prior to the call, or was it stored in a warmer location?
It's the globstar one.
Pricing has gotten a little goofy.
I would probably go with a iridium now as you can get a 6 month prepaid subscription for $325 with a decent amount of minutes.
Spot/Globalstar have the cheaper phone but you pay through the nose for the minutes/subscription.
Looking at about $1k for a irridum phone but the minutes are cheaper.Interesting, I may have to try one of those iridiums out.
That global star I had for a few years was total junk that never worked.
