Favour from a SPOT owner

Post by Dave Barter »

I am developing a new site to be launched very soon that is designed to help get others active. It's a completely free service built in my own time with my son so no world domination planned

I need to test pulling a SPOT message feed. Could a kindly soul with a SPOT and a subscription and a shared page give me their ESN and switch their SPOT on for 24 hours? It would help if I had more than one

Thanks

Personally, I'm hoping for an App that lets me have a pizza delivery even when I've no phone signal.

Thanks, still very much in BETA but worked a treat for the Spine Race and we hope other events will use it. Will always be free without adverts. No commercial gain, developed on a shoestring.
