i recently bought a very expencive motorcycle which is very popular among thieves.
and to make things worse i go to school in downtown toronto.
i would like to get a telus phone that stays with the bike(hidden somewhere) while i leave it unattended.
1-i want to buy the cheapest phone that is compatible, which one do you recommend?
2-i live in ontario canada and know that i have to go thrue tellus, but do they offer a pay as you go plan that supports AccuTracking? if so which plan would it be?
3-my parents live in the states, does nextel have prepaid service that supports GPS tracking?
so basicly i want to buy this phone and pay a one time fee for if and leave it on my bike for if it ever gets stolen.
sincerly,
Ray from toronto

the prepaid version of nextel will not allow access to the packet data network while roaming in canada, so that option is out.
I dont know about mike's data service option, nor do i know what the cheapest way would be.
As for the equipment end, i've toyed with the idea of using an i830 set of boards and sealing it in a waterproof case, and using it as a vehicle mounted GPS transmitter. Project never came to light though.
