Does the SIM card come with the device? If not, where do I get them and how much does it cost? Can the device be used with GPS only (if no SIM card is inserted?)

You need a sim card to use this device. It won't work without one. And you need to provide one. I found many prepaid cards available on Amazon. Hope this helps. TS

It has GPS capability, but you need to buy an add on device. I don't have one, so not sure what it costs

No. No Sim card came with unit. ATT put one in for me. It will work without one on a WiFi network right out of the box.

It does not come with it or with the ability to send information to a Garmin or to sync with a GPS unit, but all three of those are options you download after purchase. BTW, the meter rocks and works very well. I'm very happy with mine.

Darn it, I have never tried the gps; however, I have found customer service at 5 Star to be very helpful. Also, please consider if you find the gps is not satisfactory, return the unit to Amazon or go ahead and buy it from a local Walmart for a bit higher cost, try it out and see what happens. BTW, I only need to charge my unit once each week and the provided test to check the unit works quite well. I like mine and the only negative in the experience is that in 5 Star advertisement, they really should note that a monthly tax will be added just like any telephone system. Mine adds about $3. Harry

you can track the GPS a few different ways using this device: 1- dial the device phone number and it will reply with a text message including the GPS coordinates as well as a link to google map2- Automatic tracking - Send the "fix" command via sms etc...Yes a manual is included and all the commands are well documented....

Hi Eldho,The SIM card is a regular Mini SIM, which are the most common ones out there. They cost about $5. The device includes one, but you'll have to check if it can be reused. Daniel

I use google maps (since data is free - unlimited) I dont use the paid service of GPS.

This device works fine in Android, though you need an app to make it work. "You Are Here GPS" is one of the apps, though there are a few others. You'll also need the PL2303 app (it adds the driver needed for Android to recognize the device).

I bought a used garmin and a cable later. They did hook up after I loaded Picasa (sp?) however either my device was too old or I was not the original purchaser and could not up date my device. But I might be wrong because I am an internet idiot. I am a writer. On SCRIBD I publish as SpecialDad.

of course there is no gps for 10 bucks. the sellers of this item are trying to pull a fast one. dont buy into it. get your dog chipped, and get a normal cheap tag.

>> F. Robinson says:>> I use this phone with T-Mobile, I have the pay as you go >> plan with unlimited data, So I couldn't tell you what they will bill you for.I have the vanilla prepaid plan. Does this phone require a data plan for the GPS to work?

If I recall corectly, it does not come with a SIM card on it. SIM (sold separately) is used if you want to buy new call sounds then you can insert it and download them to the device

If this is the Garmin GPS V. The GPS should have come with the drivers. I do have the drivers and they are outdated and do not work. I have contacted Garmin for support and there are no updates.

The provided SIM card is also the limitation of this device - you have no option to switch provider for cheaper operation. The device simply sends its coordinates every 5 minutes - with a good data plan this could be done at almost no cost...

Device should use a SIM card so you could text on it so the SIM card you installed could automatically text back it's GPS location.
