Are there any additions or extras to the subscription?
With your base subscription you will be able to find the location of your ‘Thing’ by request – the base subscription includes a set number of location request credits but it does not include continuous tracking aka Real-time tracking. You can upgrade to continuous (Real-time) tracking with an increase to your subscription. Please look in the ‘How much does it cost?’ section for more information on each of the subscriptions.

| I'd Recommend It |
|
"We have been using the 'Locatemything' tracker unit for a while now. It is attached to my 80 year old dad's keys, and my mum charges it up at night, at the same as her phone. I'd recommend it. Get the idea aired wih the carer early in the course of Alzheimers, and don't leave implementing it until its too late for technology to be useful." Dr Sam Oddie, West Yorkshire |
