It's definitely the phone number I was referring to, the tracker ID number is something else. By right clicking on the location of the bike on the map it brings up a list of things going on and the two numbers are obviously different. Anyways no worries for now, been nearly two months and the COMO sim is still working so will leave well alone for now. 🙂

I did read on one forum that battery drain was a problem with this tracker. Don't know if all trackers are the same, but anything permanently connected to the battery would have the same effect. Guess it's not such a problem for a car. My bike is used practically every day and only stands sometimes a couple of days at weekend so never had this problem. Seems like you got the tracker working,

OK ! so had a chat with the wife and seems she just pushed a couple of buttons, and it worked, that's all she remembers Sorry not much help for you. As far as I recall the tracer doesn't do text, you call it and have to enter a code number for the various functions. I didn't bother with all that just got the "Engine On" - "Speed" and "Mileage" to show. If you really get stuck you could try SinoTrack help [email protected] or chat to one of those pretty girls at one of the many phone shops perhaps one of those could sort out the problem for you, http://[email protected] - https://manuals.plus/th/sinotrack/st-901-gps-tracker-manual Good luck

Sorry to hear you're having problems. Have to confess I only did the hardwire installation on my tracker, left the all the SIM stuff to the wife. I don't have a phone so all this "new" technology is gives me a headache so leave it all to her. The wife is out at the moment but will try get some answers for you and post again in tomorrow. We did not buy any additional package, just used the GOMO sim straight out of the box. Though there is the strange case that the tracker is still on the original phone number of the original SIM.! When you first open the SinoTrack app it brings up a map. of what I presume is the SinoTrack home base. To start activating your tracker you have to click on it's ID in the window on the bottom left. Hope this is some help, will post again tomorrow after having spoken with the wife.

Malware risk is always a concern with any file, just wonder why PDF, which is one of the most widely used formats should not be allowed. Quite a few other formats are allowed, which I'm sure are also susceptible to malware, just curious why PDF would be more so? Seem to remember plenty of PDF files for download on the Immigration download forms page, so they can't be all bad. As for using the "cloud" thing, I just can't be bothered. I'm too old and cranky now to sign up to any more things, they always want more and more personal information. The only reason I'm asking about PDF is that a couple of time when I tried to answer a post on here with a PDF attachment I couldn't. Only trying to be helpful.

Yea! tried that, Still leaves the blank window -
Yes, I know what files ARE attachable, just wonder why PDF are not. What's wrong with PDF files? It's a very common widely used format

A couple of times I started a reply with "Quote selection" from a previous post but then changed my mind. Now if I want still want to reply but without the "Quote selection" seems I can't. Seems no obvious way to delete it from the reply window

The yellow goes to accessory / ignition circuit, you don't need that connected for the tracker to actually work but it's useful for additional information. You can connect the yellow to any thing that comes on with the ignition key. Maybe the headlight or perhaps the rear light, if it only comes on when the engine is running. I removed some of the front faring's and connected it to the ACC on the back of the ignition switch. A bike shop could do that for you cheaply as it's not a big job. Don't know for sure how we got the thing activated. Left that to the wife who did it with her phone, not sure if it can be activated from a PC. If the blue and yellow LED are on it means the tracker is connected and working. A manual should have come with the tracker, but just in case have attached PDF. Well, that's disappointing, won't let me attach a PDF file. Search YouTube plenty of advice there. Hope this helps.

Happy Tracking

Following "CanadianSam" suggestion got the wife to order one of those GOMO sim cards for 99฿. which arrived within a couple of days. She went trough the registration process and got the new SIM activated , I think. This is where it gets a bit confusing. Took the old SIM out of the tracker and replaced it with the new COMO sim. The tracker worked, but still showing the phone number of the old card even though I had taken that card out and replaced it with the new COMO. Not sure what is happening. The tracker is working, presumably on the old phone number, did the new card take over the old number? Anyways will wait to see what happens after some days of working. A point the wife mentioned was how to top up the COMO card once the 99฿ initial cost runs out. She says there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to that. To answer another question. The SinoTrack ST-901-http://www.sinotrackpro.com/ - is a one off payment to purchase, there are no more payments for the unit. However for the tracker to work you need to insert a SIM card and that will cost depending on what provider you use. As mentioned in my original post, initially my SIM card top up was 50฿ per month, this crept up to 50฿ per 10 days, hence all this about finding a cheaper provider and GOMO seems almost too good to be true. but will wait and see.

For those interested:- I have this one, it only has 3 wire to fit. SinoTrack ST-901 I see they have a later model, with more wires, more suitable for a car. SinoTrack GPS Tracker St-906GL 🙂

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. CanadaSam's suggestion of GOMO sim sounds promising, will get the wife to look into it Why track the shopping bike? I just wanted to find how this tracker thing worked. At the time I was the only one with driving license so obviously always knew where the car was. Had additional pedal lock and a couple of secret immobilizer switches so was not worried about the car being stolen, so the bike seemed the obvious choice for testing a tracker, It was not a question of tracing anyone especially, though it did come in handy a couple of times when I saw the wife parked at the store and I could call her to add something to the shopping list, also I would not call her while the bike was moving, did not want her to answer the phone until she parked up. One of my kids has now inherited the bike for school runs so the tracker is actually going to be useful She knows the bike is tracked, so no problem there. Cheers 🙂

About two years ago I installed a ST109 tracker on the family shopping bike. The tracker works fine and gives location of the bike within a meter or so. The problem is with the SIM card payment. Initially 50฿ would be enough for a month without topping up. Recently the topping up time has become shorter till now the SIM will only work for just 10 days before needing to be topped up again. Anyone have the same model tracker experiencing the same? if so, did you find a way to fix the problem? and get back to the 50฿ per month. Thanks.

BIG PAIN Don't believe those YouTube videos that show you only need a gentle tap with a hammer. The first one I did, there's a thread on here somewhere, I had to use blow torch to separate the strut from the under chair mechanism. That still didn't work so had to buy both strut and mechanism. Where the strut goes into the wheels is a bit easier to work on as you can really heat it up and bash the hell out of to come apart. Another one that I had previously put grease on the top and bottom slots came apart a bit easier but still a struggle. This last I replaced I wound a lot of that white plumber's tape round both ends before reassembly. Time will tell if that's a good idea. Crossy'S idea of using a length of metal pipe as a cheap fix works well. I used that for several months before getting round to replacing the strut.

I have had TOT landline for many years. Originally the strung wires and more recently the fibre that comes with my computer. In all those years I have never actually made an overseas call, until just a few days ago only to get the message that this phone does not have permission for overseas number, or something like that. TOT said for ฿200 they would change the setting to allow overseas calls, it would take some time and would let me know when it's done. This blocking of overseas, is that the default setting on all landlines in Thailand, if so why? Anyone else have this blocking on their land line? Have you tried? Incidentally no problem with mobile phone so why only on landline.? Forgot to ask TOT if overseas incoming calls are also blocked. (Maybe some Nigerian prince has been trying to call)
