Have fun with your tile! But dont get mad if you cant find yourquadcopter anymore. No gps just bluetooth.
it works on 2g or also called gprs. ofcource it has no 3g and 4g module inside...Use a sim that also supports 2g.Steely said:A warning to everyone. Don't buy this tracker if you can't find a service that is NOT 3g or 4g. I just wasted my money setting up a Bell Prepaid account and probably wasted my money on this now useless tracker. Sure would be nice if I was given this info before wasting my money.
This uses 3G/4G. It's described as a PN40. It must be available under diff names around the world. $149 AUD and 65gms. Satellite and GSM. If you want to look at it's Australian version......http://www.readytrack.com.au/products/r ... pabilitiesSteely said:A warning to everyone.

That is a bummer. I checked here in the USA and in my area AT&T has 2g and it is GSM. So, best guess it should work for me. Only problem right now checking tracking it left Chicago three days ago. It does not take three days to get from there to my house. Because it was a package from China they must have pitched it in a corner and will throw it on a truck when ever they think about it. We will wait and see......Steely said:Just repeating what I've been told. I'm not a tech. My sim card does NOT work with this tracker. I will be researching this more today to find the correct answer.
Update: The Bell network in Canada does have a 2g network, but it's CDMA, not a GSM network. So I'm GUESSING this might be the reason this tracker is not working.
Hawkeye 1 said:Got mine today also and I am more than a little happy with it. It was very easy to set up and worked perfectly during testing.....was inside a meter on location test and the other functions worked as advertised. I activated mine with a T-mobile pre-pay card...activation was $10 and I put $10 airtime on it. Text messages are 10 cents so you won't need to use a lot of time....the only drawback is that you have to put more time on after 90 days but your balance rolls over so basically it's costing you $10 every three months...a small price to pay for a little peace of mind. I used Dual Lock to secure it to the belly of my aircraft and I called it while about 20 feet in the air and I could hear the ring....it will really help if you do lose it and have to search ....you can call it when you get close and listen for the ring.
I forgot to mention that I had to call T-Mobile and have my voice-mail deactivated before it would work properly but after I did, everything fell into place and it works like a charm. I would highly recommend it for use in our hobby.
