Buy a plan, get a device for free. That is the premise behind a promotion today through the end of the year.

This is a great deal for anyone in need of a connection from the wilds, be it a voice line from the SPOT Global Phone, tracking and emergency services from a SPOT Gen3 Satellite GPS Messenger, or a device to monitor your assets (car, boat, ATV, etc.) with the SPOT TRACE.
