GF-07 GPS Tracker - Dismantle - Fake GPS - Do Not Buy!!

Quick video about the GF-07 GPS Tracker with a look inside the device.
This is NOT a GPS tracker - do not buy if you want accurate GPS tracking.

Thanks for taking the time, appreciate it. These ads popping all over the place especially on FB at $20 US

They are like 4 bucks on ali express. I suppose you are american where there's a fuck ton of teenagers drop shipping

Wish I would have saw this video earlier, but thanks, quick ? for ya, do you have any GPS Tracker recommendations?

[@russtorque2993]

Sonny, a half km range is more ideal. A person may want to attach it to their own bike when going into a café shop or mall and chain the bike outside for that short time absence.

[@ciobanucatalin6187]

Great advice ! But could you give us a tip regarding which gps to buy?

which gps tracker do you recommend?

THanks for the video! I almost bought one for my bike. Is the GF-21 or GF-22 good enough to track in case of theft?

Atleast you got the magnets inside yours! They expect me to use blue tac or something ! I’ve been sitting here for hours wondering why this 5g sim isn’t working, that makes sense, I will go and get a 2g one and try that. Thank you for your video 👍🏽

[@tonyddoyle9132]

I bought a magnetic car phone mount from eBay with a much stronger magnet & a sticky pad (for attaching to car dashboard) so I stuck it to the gps gf07 & it’s a much stronger magnet than the one already fitted inside but I’m waiting for a 2G sim to arrive off eBay so let me know how u get in with yours

[@mindaugasliepuonius9488]

This is NOT GPS tracker, but GPRS tracker. Tracking performed using cell phone stations. Accuracy is low ~1km, but still shows location. So, depends what you need.

[@grunfalan]

That's true, it can be useful for some applications, but they advertise it as GPS tracker, hence it is SCUM

[@catherinepross8328]

I want to add it to my cat's collar so I can find him on my farm during the day. I bought a Tile locator but it doesn't work in he's not within my Bluetooth range. I want an app that I can open and find him. Our tower is kms away so I'm thinking this won't work. Do you have any recommendations?

[@squidly1117]

I don't even remember buying this. It showed up at my door and I vaguely remember searching for a GPS device about two months ago, I guess this is what I bought. The best value to this unit is the great laughter from my family as I read aloud the terrible instructions which utterly butchered the English language. Ah, good times.

[@backgarden-reggie]

Thank you so much for the knowledge, I would have purchased one! You saved me.

[@MichaelWebMason]

Something that may be of interest... We purchased the TKStar TK905 and it works really well. So well that it was bloody stolen and we even knew where the thieves were. We've since purchased a new one and it will be connected directly to the car battery and not thrown in the glove box.

Same with me. I bought mine and it doesn’t even charge up. The people say that I have to put in the Sim card just to charge it up which is so weird

I can recommend gps-server.net this service allows you to use any old android or iOS smartphone that is just collecting dust. I’ve just set my phone up to use it and it’s really easy to setup. Just have a look. You get a free trial but then you can opt in for the 1 device at 15eruo for 1 year or choose a better, more suitable plan for your needs.

If you have such a fake, find out that it responds to other commands. The APN setting is done with the Apn # net # command, where "net" is the apn of your network. The imei # command will return the imei code but will not go to any site. After setting the APN, command 777 will respond with a Chinese link

[@PaulRezaei]

How do you text to a SIM card? Where do I find the number to text the 000 to?

[@ticoforeces]

@@PaulRezaei When you buy a pre-paid simcard you need to active it. To activate it, put in on a cellphone and follow the instructions from the company (e.g. call to 103), once you active your sim cand you should get your number (again, check the instructions from the simcard). Once you are ok (sim card activated and you know the number) switch the card to the gps, wait til the red lighs get on and you are done. Now use your cellphone to SMS text the number you got from your pre-paid simcard (wich is inside the gps). First 000, then 555 or 777.

[@nordicmind82]

@@PaulRezaei When you buy a phone card / number / SIM you get a bit of plastic with a metal chip on it, usually within a larger credit card sized bit of plastic that you break it out of. This card can be put in a phone or in this device. To send text messages you use a mobile/cell phone and the SMS/Text function on that, and send the message to the number you have bought. The number should be on the larger bit of plastic that you break the smaller one out of, and/or the envelope/paper you get the card in/on. To clarify: This is a normal phone card, with a normal phone number, that you get anywhere they sell phones. It is exactly the same thing you put in your phone, and you get to know the number the same way as you get when you want to start telling your friends you got a new number. If you just randomly found the SIM card on the street you could try calling another phone with it, to see if it has any money on it and to get the number showing up in their display. When you have put the SIM card in this device, and a microSD card on top of that and slid it in you can text to this little "GPS" box as if it was a phone - because it basically is a tiny phone that just answers text messages with coordinates in a reply text.
