June 24, 2013 Post a Comment You're at Miami Internatioanl Airport. Is your checked luggage there too?
Where exactly is your luggage right now? You’re at Miami International. Hopefully your luggage is too. But no matter what airport it ended up at,Trakdot will let you know. The company says this is 1st ever luggage-positioning system that keeps track of where your luggage is. Here's how it works from Trakdot: Trakdot Luggageis constantly monitoring the cellular network to determine its city location. When you fly, Trakdot Luggage knows and goes to sleep. Upon arriving at your destination, Trakdot Luggage wakes up and reports its new location. Depending on your preferences, a text-message or email is sent to you confirming that your luggage has arrived with you. Text-Messaging charges may apply from your cellular carrier. Not all cellular carrier's support international text-messaging. Call 611 from your mobile phone to speak with your carrier's customer support department before your travel abroad. Our optional mobile apps make use of your mobile data plan. Depending on your data plan, you may incur additional data roaming charges when traveling outside your local coverage area. Trakdot, $49.95, one-time activation fee $9, plus $12.99 annual service fee. (Available about the time you’re reading this, end of June, 2013.)
