    Hi.

    I've bought a magnetic gps tracker. It's a TK05 model. I bought it from an Irish website based in Cork.

    I have zero experience with seeing these things up and after following instructions I still haven't managed to correctly set it up.

    I am using a new Tesco SIM which I've topped up with €20. I've then installed this sim into the device. I've text the SIM from my phone with the APN for tesco. Then I've tried to set my phone as the master phone. However, I keep getting this reply; Notice: Registration failed. Please make sure GPRS is connected!

    Any help???

    Thanks

    GPRS (sometimes called 2.5G) implies a data connection, is that Tesco SIM enabled for data? It sounds like your GPS received the SMS but cannot establish a data connection to register.
