The device lasts 1 to 2 weeks per charge and tracks location every 10 seconds. You can set up geofencing and real-time notifications. You can hide the device in a vehicle to prevent theft. Some use the device to track children or set up a geofence around a child's school.

Despite the name, Prime Tracking is not affiliated with Amazon, Amazon Prime, or any Amazon products. Instead, a third party company has launched Prime Tracking as a 4G LTE tracker, marketing it online through advertorials, sales pages, and multiple websites.

Wherever you buy it, Prime Tracking is priced around $50 per unit. Because Prime Tracking uses 4G LTE networks, you also need to pay network fees of $25 per month.

Prime Tracking works similar to other GPS tracking systems. It's about the size of a key fob (like the one that unlocks your car or apartment door).

How Does Prime Tracking Work?

Some parents use Prime Tracking to track the movement of a child. You might place the tracker in a child's backpack, for example, to monitor your child's location throughout the day.

In promotional images online, we also see customers using Prime Tracking to track cheating spouses - say, by quietly placing the device in a vehicle or sliding it into a partner's pocket before a night out.

Prime Tracking uses 4G LTE mobile networks to track location. As long as the device remains in 4G LTE coverage (i.e., you have a cell signal), you'll be able to track anything wherever it goes.

To access cell networks, Prime Tracking uses a SIM card (included with your purchase). You need to pay a subscription fee of $25 per month (or $20 per month for six months) to use Prime Tracking. However, there are no contracts, activation fees, or cancellation fees.

You monitor Prime Tracking location data via the mobile app, which is available for iOS and Android. You can use the app to set up a geofence, customize notifications, get detailed information about speed and location, etc.

The tracker comes with a USB and outlet plug to charge the tracker. Each purchase comes with a lithium polymer battery that should last two weeks per charge.

Prime Tracking also provides real-time alerts and notifications, two-week battery life, and other benefits.

Track from Any Device:

Once Prime Tracking is tracking something, you can monitor the location via a smartphone, tablet, computer, and any other internet-connected device.

Store Anywhere:

Geofence:

Prime Tracking supports setting up a geofence, allowing you to create a specific area on a map where you expect the device to be, and then receive an alert when the device goes beyond that area.

Location Updates Every 10 Seconds:

Prime Tracking doesn't provide accurate real-time location monitoring, although it does update location every 10 seconds.

However, the company's terms of services expressly forbid using Prime Tracking for illegal activities:

"Prohibited Use. You may not use the Service in any manner that violates applicable law or is objectionable or harmful to us or others."
