Mobile networks are planning to switch off the 2G networks by 2033, however, every smart-meter in the country operates on 2G therefore will all need to be replaced. Many other IoT devices also operate on the 2G spectrum so this switch off will either never happen or be prolonged for a significant amount of time. Our subscription model allows for free upgrades should we release new models of HikeSOS in the future.

We would always recommend a PLB  (personal locator beacons) to be in your Hiking Kit, you can never go wrong in the event of a critical situation or emergency.

HikeSOS is not designed to replace PLB's but to compliment them, our device provides you with a form of communication in more locations that your smart-phone typically would.

With its compact design, HikeSOS offers a modern and versatile solution for outdoor adventurers seeking peace of mind on their journeys.

Our SIM's will seamlessly roam between the network offering the best signal. This is because we have no commercial interests and do not set PLMN preferences unlike many other providers. Whether it's EE, Vodafone, o2 or Three HikeSOS will automatically switch giving you hassle free communications when out on the hills.
