Santa was kind this year and I got a new iPhone!
I now have a redundant iPhone 5c which is surplus to requirements. Can't sell it, because it has a fault with the home button (which the Apple 'Genius' people can't repair). The phone is fully operational though, using the 'accessibility' function instead of the home button.
Soooo, rather than it gathering dust, or to use as a spare phone, was wondering about secreting it somewhere in the van and using the 'Find Friends' App as a tracking device?
At the mo' the phone is sans a SIM card, because I've popped the 3 Mobile sim into the new phone. If I bought a cheapo PAYG sim for the old phone and kept the battery charged, would it work as a kinda tracker?
The Find Friends App works brilliantly for tracking (like seeing where the missus is and how long it will be before she can get home and put my tea on ).
Anyone use phones for trackers? Any other funster dodges or advice?
