Anyone using a GSM unit for their FBH, I have an idea

There is a company I have come across (www.followus.co.uk) who can track from the sim fitted within the gsm unit. I have spoken to the guy who runs the company who ensures me it will work.

It costs £16 to setup and lasts for 6 months, then top up the same again, so for a total of £32 per year you have a tracking system.

Anyone tried this before? A cheap way of tracking me thinks Whistle

I tried GSM tracking services last year. They may have improved since, but back then even in built up areas the highest resolution I saw was 'within 500m'

It was also frustrating the number of reconfirmation messages the services required. If the tracked sim didn't respond appropriately then the tracking would be turned off. A right PITA if you don't actually have a means of reading / responding to SMSs on the device.

Looked into it aswell ...but as Rob says ..it was all the conformation messages that put me off ( taking out the sim to read them on a phone , put it all back together )

Maybee you should speak to them and tell them how your set up works and if any thing can be done to stop the conformation texts Thumbs Up
