Arduino

Find a mobile operator in the Netherlands that still supports 2g networking

Buy a sim card with mobile data

The device is going to work with a gsm moudle which will send SMS directly to your phone with the live location of the device

Since no app have to be build, the only program needed for this project is the Arduino coding program
