Its the Zoleo you're talking about I think.
My buddy bought one last year and it seemed ok for sending out messages. However in the fall I was meeting up with him for a camping/hunting trip. As I was working late he headed out early to setup camp ahead of time and used the Zoleo to send me a pin of where the camp was. The pin location he sent me from the Zoleo was off by about 5-10kms of where he setup camp. I ended up having to drive up and down backroads for while until I found his trailer.
So it worked for sending messages, but if it were me I wouldn't buy it to rely on its ability to send out your GPS location. Like I said maybe it could have been user error or a one-off situation though.
