Re: Overseas use?

said by sporkme:

I saw some comments about a "GPS check" where the unit tries to figure out where it is. Can anyone verify that?

I have a friend that's out of the country for at least a few months a year. He also has an iPhone and currently just uses a phone from a local carrier when he's away. If this beast could actually be tricked into working in a non-ATT area, well, that would be keen and well worth the $20/month or $150 upfront.
It does more than just a GPS check to make sure you've got it installed where it's supposed to be.

Assume a VPN that gives it a US IP. What then?

Where it would be living, interference with other services would not be an issue.

A US IP isn't going to get around it either. You also have the GPS component to deal with.
