Easy and painless setup, just a few SMS commands as per the directions and it is up and running. Follow instructions and use Speedtalk Mobile SIM.
The $5 SIM is fine unless you plan on using SMS notifications or call into it for its eavesdropping capability.
This can be used anywhere in the world that has 2g cellular service, just use a regionally appropriate SIM card.
This model does NOT have the removal/anti lost feature as advertised. The TK915 has that feature.
I operate a private detective agency and this is the most economical full-function tracking solution out there.
In "real-world" application, I get 3-4 weeks out of the battery with moderate daily driving.
UPDATE 8/9/18:
I have now purchased a total of 5 of these trackers, and 2 of the TK915 trackers from TKSTAR.
There is no better product out there. Whether you are using 1 or tracking an entire fleet, these are the most economical, full featured devices available.
Additionally, the customer service is outstanding.
This is an excellent device, it works great I love it
Among the four vehicles in my household, two are parked on the street three blocks away. I need a GPS tracker to alert me of potential tempering and to help me locate the vehicle if stolen. TKStar gives me the peace of mind at a very reasonable price. SpeedTalk at $5 a month (ordered separately from Amazon) is also a no brainer. After you activate the sim card online and get a phone number assigned, insert it into the device. Then you will need to go over some ground rules with the device:
You text your tracker: gprs123456
Tracker replies: gprs ok
You text again: apn123456 wholesale
Tracker replies: apn ok
Then you can use the app to fine-tune the settings. The short pamphlet that came with the device offers more text commands. If you text the wrong command, your tracker will reply "wth?" No, seriously, "invalid command." The app allows you to configure the device to notify you of vibration, low battery, entering/existing the geofence, etc. At the same time I was testing this device, I utilized a third sim card to run an old smart phone as a tracker of similar functionality. The data usage was high and the battery drained quickly. It is a viable choice only if WiFi/power is constantly available.
It took some trials and errors for me to figure out which settings to use. Standby mode means the tracker wakes up by itself every twelve hours and reports its location to you. While in sleep mode, the sensors can still be triggered to alert you. When the tracker is in sleep mode (offline), the app won't be able to communicate the commands, but direct texts will. Currently I remove my cell number from the app so I get alerts by the app only. There is plenty of data left to use in my $5 plan, but not so many texts.
It was very easy installation for me . Had it for 5 weeks And product works fine . I have no problem with it .And seller responds less than 24 hours that is surprisingly fast for an oversea seller . And as long as you have the right sim card you will have no problem installe this device.
As expected, no sim included. unit is simple to use, magnet is strong. used ultra mobile service, which piggies back on t-mobile. gprs and the app are working ok. in shock mode, battery is good for about 20 days it seems.

Quick guide
1.After you insert the SIM card to the device, then pls use your phone call the SIM card number, you will receive a Google SMS location link.
2. If you are unable to receive the Google link, please call the operator of the device SIM card to reset the network.
3.If the App can not realtime tracking, you need to set APN to let our APP work.
Just send 3 text messages to the device SIM card number,you can contact me to help you set up step by step at any time via Amazon.
It’s a great product, it absolutely works. However I would only recommend this product if you are very good with instructions and if you wouldn’t mind going through somewhat of a technical process. Because the GPS will not come to you completely programmed. You have to buy the right Sim card and the Sim card has to be installed correctly. You will have to enter in some different text message commands.
The manufacturer does supply instructions but you have to execute them perfectly and there are quite a few text commands that you have to execute. This is not something that you can just turn on once you get it. There is somewhat of a process. I ended up having to contact customer service. Also keep in mind that customer service is not in the US it is in China so there is no one 800 number for you to call. However I contacted them through email and WhatsApp And they responded to me within 24 hours and helped me through the entire process. So altogether this set up took me about two days. It’s a great product At a great price if you are willing to go through a bit of a process but if you are not a person that is text savvy or someone who doesn’t mind dealing with technical details then this may not be the product for you.
But once you get it working it’s pretty amazing. Worth it!
First i did add the tmobile sim but you have to put it in your phone and just go to settings and select the 2g setting and then insert the sim in the tkstar gps tracker. if you dont have tmobile buy the speed talk sim from their website 6 months for $30.
It works perfectly now i can track my motorcycle if somebody try to steals it.
Recently I bought a replacement GPS TKStar when my Popsky unit no longer worked correctly. App crashed.
After installing the active SIM card from Popsky device, the new device would only receive a GPS (flashing blue light) and no GPRS signal to track the unit’s movement. Not good!
I contacted tech support via email to explain the situation. Not long after I got a request to contact them on WhatsApp. Once the new app was uploaded on my phone and the contact number dialed, within two minutes I got response from Kelly Gu in China who helped guide me through the correct set up. Turns out it was operator error on my part by not using the SIM card adapter for the micro card. Once that was done the unit made immediate contact with SpeedTalk phone number associated with SIM and gave me a longitude and latitude acknowledging my position. After that the remaining set up was simple. Accuracy of location is within 30 feet (about 10 meters).
Thanks to Kelly with TKstar for her quick response and professional attitude. Thumbs up!!!
This unit performs as advertised. It is easy to charge and the SIM card is easy to purchase and insert. The tracker unit can be used several ways.
I did not need tech support.
Product arrived on time in attractive packaging. Easy to install with strong magnet. Although I was confused by the instructions, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly customer service resolved my issue. Liz understood the issue and resolved it in minutes.
This product and the easy to use app allowed me to find my vehicle after it was not returned on time.
