I have one on my boat, hidden away. It runs off a rechargeable battery and you need a SIM card. It has either a plastic back or magnetic back but I wouldn't trust it to stay on a bike with the magnet alone.
You phone it from your phone, it hangs up and sends you text message that you can open in google maps showing the trackers actual position.
Battery lasts about a week. Less if you keep checking like I check my boat when away.

Is it worth it? Yes, but I'd probably go for a hard wired one in hindsight. simply because if you let the battery run flat the first thing you could know about it is when you try and contact it when your bikes been stolen. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I don't have one. I was just saying you probably won't save no money on your insurance if you tell them you have one and buy one direct from China if you do want one because it will be cheaper and if you are looking for one then check YouTube for reviews. They have their uses if your bike does get nicked but once whoever stole it finds then it's obviously game over. At least you will have the last known location I guess. |
I think he means even if u do get one, don't tell insurance co as the conversation generally goes like this:
Claimant: thing got nicked
Insco: ok you said tracker, so discount, much safe
Claimant: yes, I switched on linglong dingdong tracker but they must have found it, no reply
Insco: sorry no pay, we lacist, we no take only cartel kickback devices
Claimant: ok me go ombudsman
Ombudsman: insco must pay, but take back huge discount coz u buy toytown tracker ____________________
