What happens when you hit SOS on a SPOT or Motorola Defy device.

They confirm the alert isn't accidental, then contact local emergency services with your location and registration details. Response time depends on your location and available resources. Both devices require an active subscription and clear sky view to transmit. If you're carrying one of these, make sure your emergency contacts and medical info are current in your account, because that's what rescuers will see when your alert comes in. --- Disclaimer: Some of these links are affiliate links where I'll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you.
