Hi Forum

I am new to this and wasn't able to find a thread on this subject. The search isn't easy! I have acquired a SPOT 1 personal tracker. It's able to send pre-set "I'm OK" or "Help" messages with GPS location to up to 11email addresses and SMS messages to 11 mobile numbers. The email messages side works fine but I can't get the SMS messages to mobile to come through.

I suspect this miay be a common problem. Do anyone know how to fix it?

Cheers
Roganmay

Are you putting in the mobile numbers correctly? See This GPSOZ Forum Thread
Basically if your mobile number is something like 0408123456 enter your number into the Spot rego as 61408123456. The important thing to note is that you must NOT include the zero (0) that you would usually include at the start of your mobile number.

Yes what exactly Rod said I had the same problem until I used the Australian mobile code and dropped the 0 and yes the code is +61 in front of the 4
