The tracker will work in areas where a GPRS mobile phone signal is avaialble. Signal strength also depends on immediate surroundings and where the device is placed. The device will use more battery if it is placed in an area where it will regularly have to work harder to attain a network signal, eg inside a shipping container. This also means that areas with very weak signal may not allow the device to function normally in such surroundings.

Functionality of the tracker will also be affected if the phone signal suppliers have any geographical outages. These outages would also effect normal mobile phone on the network in question and are beyond our control.

The ‘mobile’ Ninja Tracking site has been designed to work on most popular smart phones with an internet connection (BlackBerry, iPhone, HTC etc ), although we cannot guarantee it will work on every phone.
