Bought the tracker on the internet after some research. Previously had the negative reviews read, and I still struggled through to order the Tracker. In the price range is not much spanks when the unit should be a let down ... Such were my thoughts. After ordering the machine was prompt in the mailbox. So I armed with prepaid card to work! (I belong to the category techies who think a manual for what Looser, and that needs everything to follow a law of logic and self-explaining) Screw device, SIM card in, purely battery, screw down, finished. Nix wars. Device back screwed battery out, map out, in purely telephone, work. Looked up, pin and Mailbox disabled. SIM card mobile phone out in Tracker in, battery on top of it, cover to, screw, finished. Switching on, let's go ... Nix. iPhone GPS Tracker Tool App. Downloaded configured, sent codes, .... Done. Nix. To move quickly despair and the spontaneous idea to throw the box out the window, then the attempt with my normal calling card (contract) the device to make a sound. Exactly ... screwing, batteries out SIM out etc. etc. This time I decided that device NOT to screw on. Switched on, code sent via SMS ... TätärätääÄ ... A response from the small GPS box. Okay, so you have what does not fit with the card. Unit works but, I'm already relaxed. Nch eternal telephone conversations with my service provider is ultimately a smart Hotline staff on the glorious idea, the firewall of the SIM card (something there apparently) also deactivate yet, and * ink *, it funzt! Although he rejects my spontaneous marriage proposal, wishes me the friendly customer service representatives have a nice day and I'm happy. Device is now, does exactly what it should, solely Hinrich not yet risen behind how the places without GPS reception via GSM network to function. Since the tiny spits out only one SMS with empty coordinates which can not be utilized by Google. But I will not give up. Now I've been so long since tuned rum gedoktert, ... Look ma times. I will report.
What is there to say about the device itself? It makes a strong impression, more or less high quality, meets 90% of the specified functions (perhaps soon 100) ... Sensational at this price! Can not complain! Not really.
Brief overview of the specified functions and gimmicks of Mini Beagle: --Ortung Via SMS: properly. Quite fast even depending on the reception. --GEO Fence: mmhmmmjoooaah, is okay for a device of this class, I guess. Does what it should. --SOS Key: without complaint !! TOP! --Anruf / Callback / call with the Tracker: perfectly! --wake up, sleep, emergency numbers etc everything as described and working perfectly.
CONCLUSION: I can the unit at the price recommended genuine! Possibly you have to invest in the technology, talk intensively with technicians of services anbietes the SIM card and read the service right for your patience.
Another tip on my part: I've let my prepaid card in a text convert flatrate card; This does make sense, because all sorts of commands, confirmations and confirmations happen via SMS.
