UberTracker allows anyone to track anything, anywhere
The UberTracker is an accessible way for just about anybody to add a GPS tracking system to whatever they want. It'll send GPS tracking updates to an email address or web server by way of a cellular antenna. You'll need a power source for the UberTracker — a 7-volt battery or a 12-volt automobile power source will do — though you won't have to install any software or slug through confusing setups. The UberTracker has a simple menu system and can even send updates that are Google Maps compatible so you can visually keep tabs on what you're tracking.
The UberTracker itself is $450, though if you want it to, y'know, actually do some uber tracking, you'll need a working SIM card with a plan that preferably includes data for online access. In other words, you're pretty much looking at a second high-end cell phone.

I pity the poor fool who buys one of these...
For about $40 you can buy a pay-as-you-go Boost phone. And for about $8 a month get their unlimited data plan. Last you will need something like accutracking.com for about $6 a month. Total spent: less then $60. You don’t need anything from ATT and if you want to stop the tracking there are no contracts, you just let it go to start back up when ever you want.

The problem with using a phone for GPS tracking is that its not as reliable. Many times phones are left unattended, they get turned off, and batteries go dead.

Yes but can you program your mobile phone ? Can you hack it, and attach a sensor to send that data ? Do you get full schematics and source code ? You can get a much better simpler tracker for a lot less, but you won't get the hack ability ...
on your cellphone!
