I bought this device to try out as a smaller alternative to the bigger GPS tracker units a few years ago. It's interesting, but it's not a proper tracker.

    Interestingโ€ฆ cool device, but I would be disappointed if I was expecting an actual GPS tracker and got this.

    Iโ€™m thinking they use the sim to store the number , the old days when you kept 10 messages and your numbers all on the sim

    It does, at ยฃ6.95, including shipping from 'Gina, make a very cheap bugging device.

    I've a few of both the tracker and listener, when used together they are a powerful surveillance system. The listener works well alone in a room with a power pack, I found the early single 18650 battery ones quite good before they were all recalled. It's a shame they don't take a BL-2 battery.
    Do you have the instructions for the tracker/a review as I've lost my instructions.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chuck Holmes says:

    one of the reasons is it's listed as only 2G

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Maximilian says:

    It's insane how cheap these are.
    $5 and then $5-10 for the sim.
    Sadly I guess battery life is close to trash ๐Ÿ™

    seems like you might want it to store audio data in the event that you weren't in a position to actually listen at the time… like let's say for instance to use a Hollywood trope you are an undercover officer and they're checking you for listening devices, you could hide this ahead of time, setup to turn on when there's audio in the vicinity. but in that use case you wouldn't want it to call you when it triggers instead you would want it to record and then you would be able to access the recording later. obviously a better implementation would be to have it call a server to store the data so that it wasn't storing locally. honestly it's hard to imagine a legitimate use for this. I suppose maybe if you want to catch your significant other cheating you could hide it in the bedroom and then it could call you while you're at work when the headboard starts hitting the wall.

    I remember the early cell phones that I had if I wanted to use the navigation app for turn-by-turn directions it didn't use actual GPS it used triangulation from cell towers which had known GPS positions. if I was driving in the mountains and lost signal, God forbid I missed my turn or encountered a detour because the software would just dump the current route and try to query the server to build a new route and if I didn't remember how to get back to where there was signal I would be screwed.

    Could be a good cheap security system. Leave it in your car and it'll call you if it hears a loud noise like someone breaking the glass

    Pretty neat little device still even though it isn't a GPS tracker. I need something like this for my Grandmother. Since pagers aren't a thing anymore, at least to my knowledge….
