I've been trying to find out, but no one has replied to any of my postings. Has anyone come up with a Canadian Mogologo solution that costs less than $40/month?

The cheapest Mike rate plan is 'Work 25', which will put you back about $30-$35 / month once network access fees and GST are included... Hi Louis,

I have browsed around, and the cheapest investment I find is 249.00 for Mike i560. I figure I'm still going to have to sign up to a network to get this to work, quite more expensive than the $10.00/month a have seen on the US side with the boost mobile phones. Ken: Does this appear to be the cheapest route in canada? Any suggestions? Thanks, LD? Hi,

They do list packet data plans on the Telus Mobility web site now, so I'm not sure if things have changed or not. Motorola has opened up their developer site somewhat, so you can download the iDEN Open Java Application Loader from them just by registering. In case anyone is interested, you can find it here: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/idenjal/openJAL/ Jason Thanks Ken.

I tried valiantly last fall. Luckily, though, you don't actually need a data plan, although tracking uses data both for downloading maps from Google's servers and for posting updates to Mologogo and your own server. It's a little known fact, but Telus doesn't charge a penny for data usage on J2ME apps. That said, they don't let you download a J2ME app onto your phone unless you purchase the app from them. And so, because Mologogo isn't available from Telus, you'll need to hack around it by purchasing a USB data cable, tracking down a PC-to-phone loader app on the web, and transferring the application onto your phone the hard way. Once you get this far, you can actually load mobile Opera onto your phone and get full web access completely free... Hi Jason,

Living in Calgary, I'm looking at doing something like this with a Telus phone (haven't picked one up yet). What kind of rate plan do you suggest for the tracking part? Does it use data, etc. when it's tracking? Thanks, Jason Hi Ken,

I brought the phone with me, but, sadly, I cannot connect. I've just been updating the map manually. Actually, no, Mologogo doesn’t work in Australia, as none of the providers support IDEN.
