No, I didn't say that. I have a tracker, but I have not, to my recollection, ever seen anyone come on here and say they went out and located their lost aircraft using a tracker.
And Yes, I saw that list, but the makers of that device do not appear to have a clue as to how cellular services work in countries other than the USA. You cannot get cell data plans for US$46 for every country in the world, you have to purchase a data plan in your own country, and I can tell you that many places in the world you will have to pay consderably more than that amount.
It is my understanding the the service is in Ping's name, and is actually US based and the carrier they have the contract with rolls in global roaming. You buy the service from Ping, not a carrier. It will be interesting to see it in real life for both factors you have brought up, but they have extensively tested the prototypes, and are still claiming that battery life. The product at this stage is in actual production. Of course problems can always arise. Time will definitely tell. What tracker do you use? |
