A subscription for a tracker feels unnecessary to a lot of people. GPS is free — your phone proves it every day. We respect that. So here’s the part nobody explains.
Did you know GPS only works one way? A device can listen to satellites for free — that’s how your phone navigates without a bill. But listening only tells the Orb where it is. Its real job is telling you — instantly, from a parking garage, a highway, three counties away. That message travels on the same cellular networks your phone uses, and airtime on those networks is rented, month by month. It can’t be bought once, forever. Not by us. Not by anyone.
You already pay $20 or more a month to keep one phone connected. The Orb’s plan keeps your car connected — its own SIM, its own line, reporting every ten seconds, at any speed, for one flat price.
It’s the same deal as a home alarm. The box on the wall is a one-time purchase — but the monitoring, the part that’s awake at 3 a.m., has always been billed monthly. In a hundred and fifty years, nobody has sold it any other way. The Orb works exactly the same: you buy the device once. The plan keeps it awake.
So what about trackers that promise “no monthly fee”? Read their reviews — customers explain it better than we could. Most are Bluetooth tags: the map says “last seen 3 hours ago,” the trail goes cold once the car leaves a busy street, and the thief’s own phone politely warns them a tag is riding along. The rest hide a year or two of prepaid airtime inside a bigger price tag — then go quiet the day it runs out. There’s no third kind. If it watches, someone pays for the line.
Our side of the deal is simple: the Orb is deliberately overbuilt, we sell it for less than it costs us to build, and it’s backed by a lifetime warranty. The plan carries the service, so the device doesn’t have to.
Trying a tracker can feel like a leap. So the first 30 days are money-back — if it isn’t for you, for any reason, we refund you. Cancel in one tap.
