I believe that they have some in the UK that already do that. I have poor phone reception were I hunt so I don’t think it would work for me.

Verizon, Alltell and all the others can't even get our cell phones to work consistently, I'd never trust them to help me keep tabs on my hounds.

before Sportdog took them over. The collar would have a cell phone number and it would send an encrypted message simular to a text your cell phone/receiver. You would have to have two phone lines and text messaging plan. They were using 2 different carriers. One was T-Mobile and I can't remember the other. Good idea, but your monthly phone bill would be pricey. The great thing about it, was you could be in Indiana and track a dog in Idaho, if both were getting a signal.
