Heres the next new communication device coming out. For you guys that hunt way back in the woods and lose cell phone service and us guys that fish 30+ miles offshore and don't have the funds for a Satellite phone, here ya go. Check it out I plan on getting one when they come out.

Didn't see where they listed a price. Any idea how much they're gonna be and what the plan costs? Good idea for me to have when offshore trolling or deep in the Cypress.

And I found this site selling them from Canada
https://www.gpscentral.ca/products/spot-connect.html

once u click ad to cart it sells for $170.00 but remeber you will still have a $100.00 ayear fee to activate the service, not a bad price if it came down to living or dieing.

Its suppose to be available to buy in the US next month (March) but you will probably have to do a search to find whos selling.

Like their other products there will be a yearly subscription for the service. This would be great for the boat but if I'm going down like I tried to do last year 25 miles out then I want an epirb too.
