Stereo & Electronics - Anybody using Cell Start?

I kinda have a problem with key fobs getting destroyed in my pocket so I'm looking into getting Cell Start to go with my remote starter/alarm in my pick up. It's offered through Bull Dog. However, I have not been able to get a clear answer if there is a monthy fee, one place said it cost $1 per incedent, I don't know if an "incedent" is everytime the truck would contact me because the alarm goes off, or it means everytime I use it to start or unlock my truck. I already talked to a Bull Dog sales person and a tech person, neither could give me any solid info. Anymore info would be greatly appreachiated.

Thanks,
Andrew

That looks like a pretty cool little device. Definitely worth looking in to.

Just an idea tho, why not try getting a little clip keychain? (I use the ends of a chain wallet. the little spring clip) Just keep your keys attached on your belt loop. Thats how I do it. Never have any problems with my keys or fobs getting damaged.

i carry 2 sets of keys... ones for my house/work/random locks/ old houses ect. and one with just my 2 keys and the fob.. and ive never had a problem...

how the hell do u keep breakin um... do u play hockey or somethin...

No they just break while I'm working. With the way the fob is designed the post will break if they bind in the key chain. It's a bulky 2 way radio fob with a screen, plus I usually have a bunch of other shit in my pockets so that doesn't help. I tried keeping the one I broke last week in my pocket loose, I lost it with in two days.

Today I read that cell start service is $100 a year but I still can't get that confirmed. It's operated by some company out of Holland or somewhere like that and they connect through Cingular wireless.

i believe the cost is pER message. A message being EIther the car contacting you by phone if your car alarm is triggered, or you sending the car a signal or message(AKA to find out where ur stolen car is). The service in my area sells bundles of messages. For example you buy 120 messages for 80$ and u replenish the messages as you use them.
