Preferably a phone (cheaper) and one that has a good GPS and Verizon LTE compatibility.\r\n\r\nThe Moto E immediately comes to mind, and can be had brand new for $47.99 here: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Verizon-Moto-E-Prepaid-Smartphone/44052006\r\n\r\nThe Moto E is more than capable for our purposes and the price point is really attractive. The only issue is that Verizon has a policy that says you can't use prepaid devices on postpaid plans unless the phone has been active on a prepaid plan for longer than 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe loophole to this is that if you just ask Verizon for an activated sim card, they don't know what device you're going to use it in so they can't really enforce this.\r\n\r\nI'm ready to pull the trigger and buy one of these puppies and rig it up so it powers on/off when it is unplugged, I just need @greenlinktransit to verify that they can get an activated LTE micro-sim card from Verizon for each of the trolleys.\r\n\r\nSource: https://www.reddit.com/r/verizon/comments/36pprc/which_prepaid_phones_able_to_be_put_on_postpaid/\r\n\r\nOur other option is to buy a cheap used Verizon post-paid phone. But I would really prefer the Moto E."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/codeforgreenville/trolley-tracker/issues/comments/157144492","html_url":"https://github.com/codeforgreenville/trolley-tracker/issues/105#issuecomment-157144492","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/codeforgreenville/trolley-tracker/issues/105","id":157144492,"user":{"login":"bikeoid","id":75929,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/75929?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid","html_url":"https://github.com/bikeoid","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/bikeoid/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-16T19:30:19Z","updated_at":"2015-11-16T19:30:19Z","body":"I collected some good data from this weekend's run.  The first shows all tracks - the track accuracy was very good for our purposes.  This is all paths run over the entire route:\r\n![t3path](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/75929/11192113/2ba47cdc-8c6d-11e5-8d36-33f0c8a8ae05.jpg)\r\nThe single detour on Academy Street was a real path.  There was only a single 'shortcut' trace from Park to N Main, but that isn't a big problem.  Here is a closer view against city building satellite views:\r\n![t3pathwithsatellite](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/75929/11192144/54ee433e-8c6d-11e5-8926-fd376feaa58b.jpg)\r\n\r\nUnless the new device will be mounted in a location with more metal shielding, we should not need any more testing.  Device 3 did not show up on Friday night, so the biggest problem may still be getting it started consistently.\r\n\r\nIf the mounting has been finalized, I'd recommend that we proceed with the device adaptation to automatically turn on when power is applied, and assuming that it can be attached to 'ignition power'.   We can run testing while modifying to confirm that it can start by itself many times in a row without failing.\r\n\r\nThe tablet was only online for a few minutes on Friday."}}
