Homemade Tracker

Don't buy an expensive tracking system (£300) and pay £135 fees per year for the priviledge.
Got an old mobile from an upgrade?
Just get a new sim from ebay for around £1 and register the phone as a pay as you go, buy £5 credit, then you can track it using a pay as you go service like follow us (ntdwm).
Just hide your phone in your car and connect to your wiring.
Remember to put the phone on silent etc
Even if your battery is disconnected the phone battery should last a few days.
The only downside is the car battery may need leaving on charge if you leave the car for a long time.

I was lucky enough to buy a car cradle on ebay for 1p (£2.50 p & p). All I need now is an aerial to extend the cradle one. I only bought the cradle as I had power connection issues with my car phone power lead.

Follow Us sends the tracked mobile a text with a return acceptance pin number so you can't track anyone without their permission.

the problem with PAYG phones is that the account lapses if you don't make any calls or send any texts every couple of months

yeah but if you had the mobile in your possession then you surely could just return the pin and then put the phone back?

You are partially correct, it is six months with orange. But it does say incoming calls aswell. So you could just ring the number?

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.
