Message: [QUOTE="Mad boomer, post: 216390, member: 3324"] I spoke to the guys at SPOT about that at SHOT SHOW. My thought was to keep them separate. If your cell phone goes down for whatever reason your out of luck. My Android has are very limited battery time, once down your out of luck. You drop it like me and break it or drop it in water your done. I break electronics and have horrible luck with Gizmos, all commo for me is FM (fucking magic). Also if you keep them separate you have two forms of emergency commo. Sometimes depending on the environment you can't get the SPOT to link for an extended period. However I carry an additional back phone with duel Sim cards (OCONUS) in it as well as a regular phone for USA back up. I still like the SPOT Device as a stand alone form of commos. One of my support guys for our company is a retired MSG 18E and he is the one that turned me on to this thingee. [/QUOTE]
