For those of you who are looking for a 3G tracker, don't pull the pin on a Meitrack T333, or the T333 from that other Aussie mob.
I'm looking into another option at the moment that I hope will come in cheaper.
I'm going to try and get a sample to see what they are like, and to see if I can write some code for the Mustrack website to talk to them.
More 3G trackers

The T333 is great, so if you already have one it's all good.

Re: More 3G trackers
No probs Tim.
I'm going to get a sample sent out in the next few days hopefully.
I've been given a copy of the server protocol and it's got some similarities to the current Meitrack protocol, so I should be able to write code to suit, and should also be able to add support in the Meitricks Android app - although now the name doesn't quite make sense
It will take me a few weeks to get the tracking server and the app talking to the new devices once I have one in my hand.
Considering the price of the T333 from Meitricks, I should be able to do these considerably cheaper. Hopefully they are as good as they look/sound.

Re: More 3G trackers
If all goes well, they should be no more than $150.
Re: More 3G trackers
Booked in via DHL.... should arrive next week some time hopefully!
Picked up a $2 sim today, so when it gets here I will just put a months worth of charge on it, at whatever the cheapest rate is.
Hopefully it looks something like this:

Re: More 3G trackers
Sounds like it was delivered today, so will get testing ASAP.
Re: More 3G trackers
haha no a different type of delivery.
Re: More 3G trackers
Got the new tracker checking in to the server today to report it's location and status.
Next I will work on the commands and alerts, then it will be ready to put in a car for testing.
I've changed the location popup bubble on the Mustrack (and Meitricks) websites to show both the current state of the ignition (ON/OFF), and also whether it's enabled or disabled via SMS/GPRS command. So if your car won't start, you can check whether the tracker is killing it.
