What our customers are saying
Gear Junkie
The Somewear hotspot is an extremely easy-to-use global satellite messenger. Because all functions other than SOS work through an app, sending a message or coordinates is as simple as sending a text.
Outside
[Somewear] fills a fundamental gap in the satellite communications market… doing it in a lighter, more user-friendly way.
Outdoor Gear Lab
We’ve poured hours of work into a comprehensive and usually up-to-date chart that collates hardware and subscription options. When we crunch the numbers, the Global Hotspot is the best value option if you want two-way text messaging in the wild.
WIRED
The signal is stronger, and unlike GPS networks, covers every inch of the globe—from the polar ice caps to the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Sierra Club
Somewear can actively detect and default to cellular and wi-fi networks when in range, thus preserving valuable satellite data. It’s simple to use and lent us maximal peace of mind on a recent backcountry adventure!
Mountain sledder
The app user interface is as clean as a whistle! It’s seriously dead-simple to use. If you’re accustomed to navigating your way through a smartphone, using the Somewear app is a breeze.
