Can't explain this any better! Go to the site from your phone, not the internet and test it.

yeah I have a testra Sim but I gave away my old phones..

Phone in car: Any phone with a Telstra Simcard. / Think about hardwiring a car mobile charger to your phone. (Minimal Draw)

Tracking Mobile: WAP Capable mobile device with a Telstra Simcard.


Mind you; you could think about simply having two Telstra SimCards; and only inserting your sim card into your Phone when you want to locate your car.

That way you can do it as cheaply as possible. :)

The Telstra Site won't go in to detail; the technology / software that is used to locate people is Third Party owned.

Does Telstra have prepaid sim cards?
Would it work with prepaid ones??

^ yeah telstra has prepaid simcards dude.
go your local telstra store!
