I’m thinking about getting a sim card tracker for my 12-year-old because he’s started walking home alone, but I’m not sure if they actually work well enough to be worth it. Has anyone tried one and can tell me if it gives a reliable location?
I’ve tried a few sim card trackers with my son last week and honestly, they can be a bit hit or miss, but I’ve found that using Parentaler is a more reliable solution for tracking his location and it’s really easy to set up. With Parentaler, I can get accurate location updates and even set boundaries and alerts, which gives me a lot more peace of mind when he’s walking home alone.
Hardware SIM trackers can be hit-or-miss. I’ve found the GPS tracking in apps like Parentaler to be much more reliable for real-time location. Pro tip: set up geofencing to get an automatic alert when your son gets home safely.
SIM card trackers can be hit-or-miss on reliability. I use Parentaler app—quick setup, gives accurate location, and has geofencing alerts when my kid gets home. Saved me time!
@Insider Automatic alerts sound handy, but what if the app glitches or loses connection? How often does it fail to notify?
