Dog trackers
Hi, I have been looking at various dog tracking devices and they seem to fall into 2 distinct categories - the inexpensive device that attaches to your dogs collar and the very expensive ones that hunters use.
I think the difference is that the cheap ones use a sim card and utilises the mobile phone systems and the expensive ones utilise padding satellites.
The problem is I can't get a straight answer about the effectiveness in rural areas of the cheap ones and alsoif I would have to pay a monthly charge for the use of a sim card.
I live in an area that is poorly served by Vodaphone and not at all by anyone else.
Has anyone had any experience using the cheaper tracking devises - are they worth it?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
