You do not even need a cell phone plan to have it work you just need to buy the cell phone and a number.
You know Q if you have your bike in the back of your truck it is an even sweeter deal to just steal your truck with the bike in it.
wtf? I find that hard to believe.
GPS with cell phones only work (at least in my experience) when the cell phone is dialing an emergency call to 911, and even then it only gives you the location of the tower it's pulling from--not the pinpoint location on the dot. That narrows it down, but doesn't help like a LoJack would.
Before you argue with me, I do have technical background in the wireless industry. If other service providers use GPS differently, then so be it, but what I said holds true for the company I worked for. There's just not enough resources to be able to pull instant GPS locations for any phone, any where.
