GPS/GSM Tracking Device

A GSM and GPS Tracking solution to locate and track the whereabouts of your vehicle in real time via the Internet on a computer or Smartphone. The device is easy to install with only 2 - 4 wires to connect. Insert a GSM Sim card (not included) and hide the device away on a metal surface or carpet using the included hook and loop adhesive. It works by sending the vehicle's GPS coordinates via the GSM network to the free online tracking service, which shows the location on Google Maps. It can also SMS longitude and latitude coordinates to up to 3 mobile phones, as well as alerts when vehicle exits a pre-determined area or exceeds pre-set speed.

An SOS/Panic button is also supplied which can send an SMS to the pre-programmed mobile phones.

I believe this should be in the General Automotive section as it isn't really stagea specific. Alot of Nissans have been stolen recently.

Do you have any screen shots of the tracking system or photo of the product? How would this pair up to the Mongoose VT404?

what would be the average ongoing cost of the sim cards?

On going costs would be by which ever plan you chose. The sim card is not included and you have to go sign yourself up with a carrier and just pop it in.

Google 'long expiry' phone plans. Most discount resellers use Optus network so you need to be sure there's coverage where your car will normally be stolen.

The first plan I saw was $15 for 6 months.

That plan makes no sense.

$1/month, but minimum first month charge is $41, and you must have a minimum of $20 in your account at any one time.

So why is the first month $41?

$1 monthly fee

$20 for the sim card

$20 deposit

Then you just pay $1 month... Works out to be $1 per week really

$20 Deposit in case your car is stolen and you lose the sim card. (obviously they want it back @ some stage?) lol
