Thanks, good information.

In the states it's as low as $5 per month (so about the same price) but it depends on your carrier.  Since I have Verizon and most trackers don't support their band I'd need to get an account on another carrier, the cost of just having the account would kick my month cost way up so I went the tracker route.  Having compared a few here the GPS mode gets you in the area but if the Phantom drops into an area with bad coverage (or inside someone house then the UHF system is better.

I guess to be really covered I should run both but I hope I never need one; it's more a just in case.

I use a Garmin GTU10 that I've had around for years. Normally resides on the dog's collar. It's an actual GPS tracker and very accurate, but I still use a Loc8r (now a Tile) for that occasional last few square yards.

The SIM card-based trackers are OK, but in rural areas where the distance between cell towers can be 15 miles or more, triangulation might be accurate to only as much as 1/4 mile radius from the target.

Garmin apparently doesn't sell the GTU10 anymore. I'd consider Tagg as an alternative.
