What sim do u use? I have AT&T should I go get a sim from there with a monthly fee or is there another way?

I use h20now SIM card $10 for 3 months. It is the pay as you go plan, after 2 months I still have $7.40 on my card and I fly just about every day.

Use link below as a referral to H20wirelessnow and get up to a $10 credit on your first recharge.

I used the H2O sim with the tracker on my P2V+. I never needed it, but good peace of mind at the time.

One problem I had, after fussing with the RF-16 setup, was cellular coverage was lacking in many places I flew. Between Sprint (phone) and the SIM, I'm not totally confident I could have actually contacted the tracker had I needed it.

I retired the RF-16 and use a Marco Polo which costs nothing, month to month, and doesn't need cellular.

did you set up the sos1 number?

 

[nix240z]

I used these setting on the h20 sim, which is an ATT network.
Text each of the following commands:

<password>,sos1,<phone number># (sets master phone number. fyi, default password is 123456) if you do it right it will text you back. dont include the < or > in the text just use numbers and no caps all lower case.

lag,2# (sets language to English)

apn,att.mvno,user,,pd,,pip,66.209.11.33,pport,80# (updates the APN)

no you have to text it to whatever phone number your sim card is from your main phone which will be your sos1 number.
for example sim card number is 888-999-9999
from your main phone text to sim card number 888-999-9999
123456,sos1,your main phone number #

if correct you will get a text back from your simcard phone number

ok you should be able to use it on app if APN is updated. Try rebooting the rf-v16 and then the app by logging out and back in.
send it a text dw#
it should respond with its gps location.
