It does work as advertised... July 20, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
In short the product does work as advertised. While I am more than happy to not have used it yet - in the sense my dog hasn't ran away. I have tested the features of the device as and here are my thoughts:br /br /1. I do not care for customer service only being open from 8AM to 8PM EST. However, the customer support was very good. br /2. I think there is a method to sign up online for the service. However, the sign up process is not that clear. However, when you do call customer support they are more than happy to walk you through everything. br /3. When you do attempt to locate your pet as noted on the web site it MAY TAKE up to 5 minutes. However, I have seen that it takes about 2 to 3 minutes in Los Angeles. br /4. Also note, when you do sign up it takes about 4 hours to have your devices seen by the network. Mine took about 1 hour after I chatted with the customer service person.br /5. There is a firmware update available for the device. It is very easy to do and brings some additional features to the device. Nothing to earth shaking. br /6. The device is BULKY there is no doubt about that. While the box CLEARLY states that it is ideally used for 30 pound plus sized dogs. I did place it on my puppy Siberian Husky whom is about 18 pounds and the device simply looks huge... but hey she will grow into it. br /7. Some odd things about this device is "programming it" - however once you get the hang of it ... its no real big deal. br /8. NOTE: The device works on ATT mobile network. Before you buy this device check to be sure you have solid coverage within your home areabr /br /Summary:br /The core reasons why I choose this device werebr /1. It runs on ATT a competitors device utilizes T-Mobile. Per consumer reports T-Mobile doesn't have the best coveragebr /2. Other devices where only capable of tracking for one mile. The solutions I was looking at go were there is mobile coverage.br /3. Other devices (Z__mB_K)on their website clearly stated that the device does not work indoors. While I understand true GPS systems can not work indoors. The competitors device clearly states it uses a-gps... that should work indoorsbr /4. Other devices seemed not well suited for outdoor activity (ie water)br /br /br /
