How to post an instant message to a Spot watch in the US if you are not based in the US


It only took me a couple of days...but i finally worked it out....

How to send a message to a SPOT watch from a country other than the US...and the answer is...

When you set your region in your profile on the passport site you need to tick the "Share my other registration information" field...if you don't, the region attribute (GeoID) in the core profile table stays set to region 0...this looks like it then sets your region via your regional passport login machine (or something like that) in my case, Australia...from where i can not send a message to SPOT watch....

As soon as you tick that share field.....bada-bing....i can now send a message to an MSN Direct Watch.....hehehehe....life is now good (will be even better when i can use a spot watch in Australia :)
