Re: Have tracker, now need sim card and service, suggestions
I live in Sarasota, Fl. ( not sure if that matters or not )
When I went in,( AT&T wireless ) they never even seen my tracker before, so
The guy went online, and called his supervisor, supervisor told him
A regular phone SIM card would work, that it was basically a cell phone
With TEXT ONLY! So guy came out, said sim was going to cost me $15, I said cool
Then we hit a snag, it was a micro SIM card, with adaptor, well he tried to put the
card in for like 8 minutes, the 2 pieces kept falling apart, so I said " do you have a card that
Fits without an adaptor " he said yes! ( I only add this, because my memory card is UNDER my
SIM card, and there is NO WAY IN HELL, I would go through that again!
So finally had a card that fit, and he activated it ( he gave me a few options )
A monthly plan, a daily plan, and a prepaid plan )
Monthly plan was like $25 unlimited texts, daily plan was $2 for 24 hours ( unlimited texts )
Prepaid was like $15-20 for x amount of minutes? Can't remember exactly?
So I originally went with daily $2 for 24 hours of service, well I gave him $25, 15 sim, and 10 on account, gives me 5 24 hour periods!
Well I flew A BUNCH, then realized, is this even working anymore? ( lost track of how
Many days ( 24 hour periods ) I had flown? )
So I called, AT&T wireless, guy on phone said, why pay $2 a day when you can prepay ( unlimited TEXT ONLY )
A month for $5 a month, if you buy 5 months I'll give you one month free!
So another $25 spent and am enjoying my 6 month window of freedom!
That is exactly how it went ( shortened a bit of corse ) so either , different branches
Don't view the same training videos, or they just don't know all the options!
Please feel free to take my story to them, it is TRUE!
And ask why they did not offer you the stuff I was offered, by the same company AT&T mobile.
I was actually shocked it was only 5 a month! After spending $2 each day!
Then I was a bit mad, this was not offered in the beginning?
So it is there, they just need to wake up! Like I said maybe it is a location thing?
I'm in SW FLORIDA! But it is nationwide service? But who knows, I'm a pool builder,
Not a phone dealer!
EDITTED TO ADD: I bought my memory card at office max, a while before all the AT&T buisness!
So just to clear it up, did not get memory card at AT&T, I only got the SIM CARD there!
Hope this helps!
Take care, Fly safe!
