Anyone has had a first-hand experience with one of these: GPS/GPRS Tracker ?
I bought one (although from a different seller), and it sort of functions, but only half-way
It works fine to eavesdrop - i.e. activates its microphone in a silent call, so you can hear what's going on inside the car - the least useful function, to be honest.
It sends back a link to the car location, but this is not accurate and basically points to the nearest mobile phone cell tower, as far as I can figure out.
It doesn't reply with coordinates, which is the whole point of GPS tracker ...
One obvious explanation is, of course, a faulty gadget, but it also makes me wonder, if the SIM card I use is not fully compatible - it's an O2 PAYG, so supposed to support 2G, which is what all these trackers require?
Here's what I'm getting:
I've had a similar tracker installed in my old car, and it worked fine, with the same SIM card, although not sure about the settings, it's been a couple of years:
Any suggestions?
