Thanks AlTiTuDe06 (& everyone else for chiming in)- I ordered the Tk102b from AlTiTuDe06's link.. AlTiTuDe06- which SIM option did you end up going with in the end- the AT&T one seems like you have to pay a minimum of $10 for credit and if unused after a month it expires- and the following month/s you have to pay $10 every month you want it active- is that your experience or did you find a better deal?
 
H20 wireless uses AT&T towers,$10 bucks is good for 90 days.
http://bit.ly/1iszreT I selected the pay as you go plan. Not sure how it will work with the GPS locator, its not going to be here until Monday. I've used H20 for years and they are good.H20 sims = 5 for a buck or 25 for $5 on eBay. http://bit.ly/1isAMCh

This is where I purchased mine, but seller is still away until the 13th:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 1149284995

I saw a couple of other sellers with hundreds of sold units that maintains 99.9x% feedback, they should be okay too.

This says he is not shopping to Italy :(

I guess it is because Italian customs are crazy. They block everything that comes from china and charge a lot of taxes (if and when they decide to let it pass through) ...grrrrrr

That sucks.
I'm also trying different seller, because I need to buy more and I don't want to wait until that one returns (holiday til next week!). So I'm trying my luck with this guy:

I'll let you know how it goes!

Lets see if I can keep this thing under 30 grams.
Grrrrr.. striped tracker & new battery (1S 3.7V 400 mAh) is now 36 grams.
I think that I can still get rid of another 5 grams.

Will report back (with picture) next time.

Apparently that's true. It wasn't made clear when I activated the SIM with AT&T. The balance, though, doesn't it expire if you refill it. But, that doesn't make sense unless you plan to use the service often.

yes- the H2O deal looks better if true, $10 of credit will last 90 days instead of a month before expiring and I think the call rates are better than with AT&T even though they use AT&T's network and you can get a H2O SIM card off of ebay for $1 shipped
 
Don't forget to go with the carrier with the best coverage.

It's pointless if you get a good deal on the SIM fees but the tracker is out of coverage area when you need it to report its location.
 
GSM network support is mostly from TMobile and AT&T in most areas in the USA.
Most the smaller gsm cell carriers operate off the towers of those 2.
AT&T is the largest with the broadest coverage area and H20 utilizes there towers.
 
Just bought 2 SIM cards for a dollar I'll be switching my service to h20 now thanks for the info skipholiday!!!
 
your very welcome.
I hope they work good.
My gps locator has not arrived yet.
I've used the H20 sims in my Blackberry for years with good coverage and no issues.
