As with previous reviews, this little tracker works just fine. Its too cold for me to be tearing the car apart to hide it properly so thats a job for another day. At the moment its just lying in the boot. Lets hope the crooks dont look in there for a while. HOWEVER, there is an issue that maybe others have not discovered yet. I fitted a 1p Mobile simcard thinking the cost per track would be 1p. When I checked the usage on the simcard it turns out that each text position is actually using 3 text messages. Perplexed, I asked the technical people at 1p Mobile for an explanation. This is their reply "I can confirm 07486XXXXXX has a max message length of 140 characters enabled rather than 160, and the device has UNICODE or similar non-standard character set enabled. It is not specifically designed for the European market. (140 is common in the USA and Far East). The messages being sent from the device are 304 characters in length and therefore the message centre are sending these as concatenated messages as per design. (140 + 140 + 24)" Hence the 3p per reply cost. Now this is not an issue for me - 3p a track is still cheap but if the sim you are using has a say 10p per text message tariff then its 30p a track not 10p. Some people are using Giffgaff so its 3 x 5p. Like I say its not an issue for me but worth knowing.Read full review

The instructions are not written in very good English and are very complicated. There seems to be a lot of texting required between your phone and the unit to get it operational. To be honest I can’t be bothered to spend the time to get this working as I just wanted a simple unit to add security to my motorcycle. It didn’t come with a charger cable for the batteries so all in all I’ll put this down to experience.

Brilliant little unit! You don't actually need to fit it "with a clear view of the sky" as per the "Chinglish" instructions! Works fine just hidden in the trunk or under the hood. Just get a payg SIM card (02 are the best) and you're all set! Phone it, it'll cut the call off and send you a Google maps text that you can directly input.to Maps. Extremely accurate (within 10-20ft): Also, if it, for some reason, can't see GPS satellites it'll send the location of the nearest cell tower....which is pretty good! Does everything I wanted it to ...just a little bit of extra security for my vehicle. Insurance companies like them too! The reduction in my premium more than covered the cost!

Looked at a few different trackers varying in price range with this one being the cheapest but decided to go with this one as it had the best most consistent reviews. Really easy to install into a vehicle and super simple to use and get a location from. Really pleased with it and would recommend anyone in need of a tracker to buy it. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Easy to fit, small & easy to hide within vehicle. No complications. Easy to operate. Great value for money. Apparently can be operated with an app, but I can’t seem to register the device to the app, but completely not necessary as very functional without app use, & cheaper running costs. Doesn’t use a lot of power (therefore won’t drain your battery). Reduced the cost of my car insurance this year by 50%!! That’s a huge win! Love it.
