Just wondered if anyones come across the above and is it as expensive for ownership (in the long run with subscriptions) as a Spot... Or the fact that noones mentioned nor got one is a reflection of iy being a bit rubbish!

Not needing one myself as such but thought to put it out there for future ref

According to their site or blurb in above...

If you use it we'll replace it (just send it back to them with your rescue story)

No subscription fees

[touch]

You can't really compare the cost with a Spot because they do different things.
A Spot does continuous tracking so your friends + family can see where you are, it needs a subscription fee because it sends quite a lot of data.
That ResQLink is a one-time-use thing (or, preferably, never used at all), it'll only transmit your location via satellite once - when you press the emergency button.

Aha. I see. 30H battery life dod seem a bit odd
