All subscriptions are through the US but the devices use the Australian ground gateways to get the message there. That is why they need C Tick approval.
SPOT have also just recalled all SPOT 2 devices due to a possible power problem.
Good luck if you bought it off the net and shipping it back to the retailer overseas for exchange! May have been worth buying it in Australia and getting local warranty! I'm glad I did. I found out that Mr Boats is selling US products so any warranty for gear from him will be back to the US too!
Authiorised Australian retaillers are at the Aussie distributors website www.piplus.com.au
So far no issues with SPOT 1 but nice to have the extra security in case there is a problem.
The SPOT 2 recall notice is www.findmespot.com/exchange
