Sorry, do you know if it is possible to just get a pre-paid sim card (no subscription), stick it in this GPS, and then just have it text back the google maps location?
BingeHD Yes. Go on amazon and lookup Speedtalk prepaid card. You pay 10 bucks for a 5$ credit on the card. Once you get it, call the number on the card and they’ll walk you through it
look on aliexpress and dhgate you can pick these up for $30 or less, subscription free just insert an activated sim card. It will report back GPS coordinations that you can open on Google maps or third party basic software.
Someone sent me this video and straight away I realised ... Not for motorbikes 🏍 At all !! Seems great for a car tho you know like your misses wants to find where you might be at 😇👌
I wasted time & money on this and it didn’t work. I even seeked assistances in troubleshooting. There are far better devices out there like Car Lock which has better ratings & it’s more user friendly.
I have one of these been using it for about a year. I keep it in my bag at the bottom of my laptop pouch in my bag. Had my bag stolen out my truck and caught the lads but wouldn’t give up where the bag was. It would last a decent amount of time but I move and drive constantly and it will last about 2 and half weeks on the longest setting for communication. You can live track through the app and no need to keep sending texts. It also sends a text when low battery or option for it to trigger on movement. Great tracker Also I use pay as you go sim on giffgaff in uk and I’m still using the £10 I put on when I first had the tracker.
Perfect, im UK also and you answered what i was looking for regarding the sim card. Did you buy a £10 sim card with a particular amount of GB Data, or does it not need that?
While I've never lost my vehicle, I think this is a great idea if you're concerned about your car or motorcycle getting stolen. I'm looking to invest in a Vespa, and theft is a concern for me. I'm not feeling that monthly subscription like you mentioned though... Thanks for the video! Good info!
Hey serg tech. Since video.. how has the tracking unit been? 1.. is it still working? 2.. did u need to recharge/replace batteries? 3.. what is the distance range?
there is no limited for tracking distance, because it is working based on global satellite positioning system. so no mattery how far away with target, you can track it, as long as there are have a signal
@lingjiang3670 hehe yeh i figured that after i bought a few. Doesn't matter where it is. Just ring in and msg the tracker and itll feed back its coordinates. Gotta be ahead of thieves thats out and about. My work vehicle and brothers work vehicle. Including the vehicle and tools is over 60k in car and equipment tools etc. I will not let a thief beat me at my own things.
Need some information about SIM card. Should it be on network provider., it going to be expensive than for every month.,sorry I don’t have any idea about it. Please reply thanks
The sim card for a GPS locator is the same as for a mobile phone, and you can choose a prepaid card. Moreover, the monthly cost of the GPS tracker is very small, and it requires about 50MB of traffic data. In addition, if you make a call or send a text message to the tracker, there will be a text message fee
Thnx Serg for this video. I have 2 questions: How far is the reach of the tracker? How many kilometers can you track? And can i also use a pre payed card?

Great video. Nice and quick delivery. Loved it. The ups and downs were very good. I didn't feel you were trying to sell me this. You included the monthly cost for the simm card. Covered everything thing beautifully . Good camera editing .This should be a how to make a UTUBE instructional video . Thanks so much.
These TK STAR Trackers are super, Ignore all those people below who for cant or dont know how to set theirs up, lets face it its not rocket science, for goodness sake, if I can do it without help and i am 71 years old,you can too.just watch the video above. The only things he does not say is that you can use a 4G sim, and you must put it into a mobile phone to register that sim before it will work in your tracker,you must take a note of the new phone number for that sim, and perhaps add £30 or so to the sim, so it works for a while. then just follow what the guy in the video tells you, ie put the new tracker number in your contacts under your tracker, and the just call up your tracker,it will take about 4 mins to text you back its position even if its right next to you indoors, thats all you need to know. happy days
A high-quality GPS locator should have this function. such as Winnes gps tracker, it cannot work in places where there is no signal, but when the signal is restored, it will retransmit the previous positioning information.
Hello, the instructions are very helpful. I did all the steps correctly, it showed that it works, but after a few hours it said at the top screen of the app "100% offline battery". Do you know what it means to have a "100% offline battery" if a sim card was normally inserted and the blue light was normally on, at least on the beginning?
APP goes to sleep(offline)after gps tracker keep stationary for 5 minutes, it is the default setting for saving power. 100% battery, it is tracker's battery infromation
Hi I am considering getting this one I live in tijuana Mexico my only concern is I wonder if it'll work with the SIM cards we have down here or does it have to be us only
as I have a few questions 1 once insert the sim it will have the new no right then do we give that new no to other party track where that person is? 2 do we have to have the key with you all the time check or track where things are? 3 how it will it work with the new sim? 4 what sim network will it work with? 5 and others
What if i buy a sim card and i don't recharge it with any plans, because as far as i know onece you activate the new sim card will take 3 months untill deactivate her self. But on those 3 months you can just recive calls on that sim card. Thank you
I am in London UK, I use a Lyca mobile pay as you go its 4G Lte. rated, unlimited mins & texts, £30 put on the sim, works great, once you have first put it into an old phone and done first registration, then get the new phone number so you can then start using it in the tracker,permanently, just remember to top up the card once in a blue moon. happy days
Quick question - what if you get one of those (now common) unsolicited calls - will the system send the person (e.g. telemarketer) your current GPS location? Or are there any safeguards to prevent this?
It's unfortunate that he doesn't like it because the battery lasts for couple of weeks and he has to charge it for a couple of hours. Were you expecting once a year charging?
TK Star GPS does not work in the Louisiana/Texas major city areas. It is an electronic module that requires a 2G network and the 2G network service providers are shutting down, or not allowing new 2G accounts to be created. I do not recommend buying this product.
I need to glue this to my smartphone because i keep mis placing it .... Every time we leave the house, sometimes it takes me 5 minutes to find my phone because i can never remember where i put it down at ...
Does the gps start while its on charge?Could you not have the device inside the car plugged into the USB so everything the car is started it will charge the device.
Just a possible tip, could you in the future keep an eye on the shutter speed of your camera? Currently it's too high and not in sync to the frequency of the lights in the background, hence the flickering. Sorry I can't help it and need to point it out.
Yes Niels, Your are right and I recently updated the shutter speed and other settings on my camera to correct this issue. Thanks for the constructive criticism. ✌
However, if you are in the US, keep in mind that the 2G network will stop being supported throughout the country in 2020. Do not waste your money with this product.
Is it working while it is charging? I want to put it in the car engine place connected to the car battery. Im looking for solution without the need for ocassional recharging.
a simple solution is to run an auxiliary usb charging port off the accessory cable of your vehicle. This will provide power when the ignition is turned on. Running it straight from the battery may drain it. An auto electrician would be able to wire it up if you cant do it yourself. the unit itself can be hidden anywhere in the vehicle depending on how much cable is used.
Get the TK Star GPS - amzn.to/2GDlqQc

which one do you like. with a longer battery life and no sim card?
is there one you recommend as the best?
Where did you get your sim card from
Hey man, I just had this GPS and it doesn’t work I guess it’s Bc this device dose not support LTE SIM cards , what should I do in this case?

Bro..such a chill to the point review...Wish all reviews could be like this....THANK YOU BROTHA!
Got my tracker and is working really good on my imac and iphone, Thanks so much. Currently tracking my lazy son using my car and my gasoline.
May I ask you what SIM card you’re using for the GPS tracker? Bc mine doesn’t work, I used KRIKET SIM card .
which country you are using thiss
You should make a comparative of the 5 best Trackers of 2019 with sim card and without fees
yeah, most of gps tracker come with free red flow card now.
@@lingjiang3670 with a what? (free red flow card)
@@Lessoninablessing yeah, i want to know what he means

Someone sent me this video and straight away I realised ... Not for motorbikes 🏍
At all !! Seems great for a car tho you know like your misses wants to find where you might be at 😇👌
Great review. Only feedback is that you can gets GPS specific sim cards that cost as low as $5/month!
I wasted time & money on this and it didn’t work. I even seeked assistances in troubleshooting. There are far better devices out there like Car Lock which has better ratings & it’s more user friendly.
SAdozer those gps units never work !!!!
You right, I wasted time & money on this shit.
Carlock gps is an obd plug.. a thief can easily find it
You bought it and didn't work ? What was the problem?
leonidas gr I did everything I was supposed to , and it just would not track !!!
Did you check to see if you can locate the vehicle from a distance ,if your car was stolen for example.
Message bigdadhack for assistance.

hey buddy r u still using this in 2022. im looking at this same unit
Would it work as a worldwide device?. Would it work in the Caribbean region? Thanks
Did you ever get a response
@@A-Salt-Life Nope
Please can you tell me what kind of Sim card do I need for this is it just a calling or I need to have a data can you let me know please
it ask for both SMS service and data service
Shoulda showd the apn trouble shooting..so it only has a 2 week battery life?
I'd like to see GPS trackers which don't require for me to buy a sim card.
TRACKI

I have 1 one for my car and it works like a charm
which one u have in car can you send me that one pic
Great review! Can you just get a pay as you go SIM card for one of these if all you are doing is text and calling?
Does this give you location services without sim card? I just need to know where the vehicle is, I don't need real time tracking
no, you have to insert a sim card into GPS tracker always
Thanks 🙏🙏
Are you still using this and is it still working?
Can you please do a video of a wired gps budget frindly and easy to intall?
So it only sends you a location marker? it doesn't show you live location of where it is at all time?
That’s what I’m thinking as well....
The review is very intrequit verygood
Very nice vid, thank you

I bought the same product but including a sim but how do you make that work?
How did you get a second SIM? Do you have to pay T-Mobile to give a second active SIM?
Buy it on Amazon???
Does it have to be recharged?
Thnx Serg for this video. I have 2 questions:
How far is the reach of the tracker? How many kilometers can you track?
And can i also use a pre payed card?
there is no limited for tracking distance, because it is working based on global satellite positioning system. so no mattery how far away with target, you can track it, as long as there are have a signal.

Great explanation about the device! Thanks!

Numbers matter including the price
The sim card need have internet conection or just be active???
No pin has gprs internet and sms
No live tracking? Turn by turn?
Will it work in the woods with no cell service?

what type of sim card can I use??
@@Mary12338 pay as you go is better, like vodafone, giffgaff
what sim car are you using?
Where could i buy this ?
Hello, does the SIM need internet, or just text and call? Thanks
Does this require any type of subscription
I learn alot from this vid.
Always wondered if it was a subscription based app can you track real time? Thanks for the video!
I need one of these! Where I live, cars get stolen/ broken into like crazy so anything I can use to always know where it is, is better than nothing
in this case, you can instal a wired gps tracker so it always connect your vehicle, never need take gps tracker out for charge
Hi how do you connect the second gps on the app plse
Really good review with great detail and instructions
Great Video!
Can this tracker keep the travel history offline and synchronize it when the Internet appears?
A high-quality GPS locator should have this function. such as Winnes gps tracker, it cannot work in places where there is no signal, but when the signal is restored, it will retransmit the previous positioning information.
Thanks bro it was very helpful and informative

thx for the video . but with whom I should pay the menthly plan ? is it with the seller or with a telecom operator ?
Nice video, it would also be nice if this thing really worked because this is the second one I bought & it sucks. Good pape weight.
Hi the SIM card you insert to GPs have to have internet or just SIM card without internet working ??? Thanks 🙏
ask for both SMS and data
It won't give you a map of where the car driving? Live when car moving?
Can you just leave it wired into a constant charging? i.e just leave it plugged in?
Hi I am considering getting this one I live in tijuana Mexico my only concern is I wonder if it'll work with the SIM cards we have down here or does it have to be us only
Bro does it work in middle east ??? And what about microphone does it have microphone ???

1 once insert the sim it will have the new no right then do we give that new no to other party track where that person is?
2 do we have to have the key with you all the time check or track where things are?

Nice video! I have the tkstar and I don't find yet how you stop it by sending messages, when you get in and driving...
If I’m gonna pay it monthly..just steal my car!
Nice but two big US carriers have already announced 3G is to be discontinued next year.
I am in London UK, I use a Lyca mobile pay as you go its 4G Lte. rated, unlimited mins & texts, £30 put on the sim, works great, once you have first put it into an old phone and done first registration, then get the new phone number so you can then start using it in the tracker,permanently, just remember to top up the card once in a blue moon. happy days
When you buy a cheap supermarket sim card, it doesn't use the data right?
So you could buy a £10 pay as you go sim and that would do it yeh?
Good information 👍
will it send a message when its low on battery
It works in latin america and what gps software use ?
Any updates on this product?
Does it work if the one I am tracking for is going abroad?
Quick question - what if you get one of those (now common) unsolicited calls - will the system send the person (e.g. telemarketer) your current GPS location? Or are there any safeguards to prevent this?
you are admin coz you set your mobile phone number
I think the location is sent only if you have the app installed on your phone.
How do you turn it back online; keeps saying offline?
Does it works with crikets
Thank you
It's unfortunate that he doesn't like it because the battery lasts for couple of weeks and he has to charge it for a couple of hours. Were you expecting once a year charging?
I needed this year's ago too track my dad car
This is literally why I’m here. #daddyissues 😂
The SIM card only need to call and text? No internet required? 3G or 4G ?
Can you use any wireless company sim card on this device?
There is also a Tracking Device for it which cost $800
Is there a monthly subscription fee?
lots of gps tracker non-subscription on the market

Works worldwide !?
Do you have to use the same sim car in it as your phone company. I have att so should I buy a att sim car can do I have to buy a data plan with it
Does the gps start while its on charge?Could you not have the device inside the car plugged into the USB so everything the car is started it will charge the device.

Alright good :) !
You had mentioned a Tmobile SIM card works with it but can I use my SIM card from my Galaxy Watch Active and alternate between the two?
as long as the sim card work on 2g network and have call,text and traffic data, it is suit for a gps tracker too.
However, if you are in the US, keep in mind that the 2G network will stop being supported throughout the country in 2020. Do not waste your money with this product.
Do the SIM card need service ? Or just insert a sim card

How often does this need to be charged if in 60 sec updates 2hours a day?
can this gps tracker work through the appropriate application without using a sim card..thanks in advance for the reply best regards

Hi do you need to top up the sim
yes
Does the tracker tell you xactly where you are at meaning like if You are at a store does it tell you the name of the store
