Introducing SMS Weather On Demand. While SPOT devices are well-regarded for SOS and tracking functionality, many users also seek a simple, pay-as-you-go way to get on-demand weather forecasts. Our independent service is built to do exactly that, delivering forecasts to your phone via any SMS signal.
Our service is built specifically for one purpose: to deliver accurate, pay-as-you-go weather forecasts. It works independently from your SPOT device, using your phone and any available SMS signal.
There's no new hardware to buy, no new monthly subscription, and no complex setup. Just get the weather you need, when you need it.
Your first weather forecasts are free!
Get a feel for how the app works both online and offline to see the value for yourself. After you've used your initial free requests, you can continue the service and setup your account whenever you are online with our straightforward, usage-based subscription.
The initial setup happens while you're online, so that you're ready to go when you're off the grid.
Create your account and use the "Add to Home Screen" feature to install and run our lightweight progressive web application.
Head out even where there's no internet. As long as you have a capability to send texts, you're covered.
Open the app from your home screen. It uses your GPS location and settings to help prepare a unique text for your forecast request.
Just hit 'send' in your messaging app. You'll get a weather forecast texted back in moments.
