That was unclear to me, since InstaMapper's site mentioned Data as one of the required account features.<br /><br />If you have any other compatible iDen phones laying around, I'd gladly buy them from you. I need at least one more, but I'd buy two or three if I could. If possible, please email me.

Which is how I came across your site. So is there any other phones i can use to do this? I was going to look for a cheap pre-paid phone and purchase some type of data plan. I will def look into Instamapper..I was also lookin into Mologogo... Anyway, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334509648350687245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905963374562044646.post-72121208374580840932012-06-10T22:40:53.734-07:002012-06-10T22:40:53.734-07:00I'm very happy to hear the tutorial worked out...I'm very happy to hear the tutorial worked out for you! Yeah, I've heard of those rumors as well, but I'm not sure if Boost would shut it down because I wonder what would they do with all of their customers. <br /><br />We'll just have to wait and see. If they do shut it down, I would go with a Spot device for the added GPS emergency beacon feature. I like the idea of being in the middle of nowhere while having the capability of contacting emergency services. With the DIY gps, we're limited to cell phone coverage areas, which is great for mimicking a lojack device, but not so great if you're in the boonies. I still love using my i576 as a cheap lojack. $3.33 a month for lojack, gps tracking, and internet is unheard of!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />-TriTri Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865578779487894454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905963374562044646.post-56501832653264933712012-06-08T20:36:43.996-07:002012-06-08T20:36:43.996-07:00Hey Tri, great write up!! just picked up an i576 ...Hey Tri, great write up!! just picked up an i576 from Mobile Karma and got a sim from a local boost store, everything went together without issue. any thoughts on the longevity of the iDEN network? i read somewhere they may be decommissioning as early as this time next year. do you have any diy gps contingency plans if iDEN does get shut down? thanks again for the tutorial!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256438343536415399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905963374562044646.post-6484077728474212102012-04-21T04:59:21.568-07:002012-04-21T04:59:21.568-07:00Hey there, if you have that phone available for fr...Hey there, if you have that phone available for free, i'll take it off your hands!

Yes, you need to charge the battery pack or hardwire the phone. If you decide to hardwire it, you'll need a Motorola 12v charger. As for the battery pack, you'll need a Motorola USB charge only cable. Sorry, I don't have battery life tests on the setup.<br /><br />I have an extra i425 phone you can have free, just cover shipping.

It's not hard wired to your car at all? Just checking. I've seen some other tutorials that do that and so I wasn't sure about yours. <br /><br />How long does the battery on the thing last with the extended pack?Ariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434080710713783274noreply@blogger.com
