A:AnswerEssentially yes. This sounds like a privacy nightmare, though. I hope you have a good reason to be tracking your son and his consent. The tag communicates with the Smartthings Find Network via other Samsung phones or nodes. So, it generally works better (updates faster) in high-traffic areas. If your son is abducted and taken somewhere rural, then you'd probably be out of luck.

A:AnswerNo. It NEVER Ever requires any Subscription. And FTR they work incredibly well and the battery can last up to 1 1/2 years. But you must have a "Android Device" such as either6a Samsung Tablet or Samsung Phone, or it won't work.
Best price is for a pack of 4 online.

A:AnswerYes. But for the love of everything holy, talk with your son and make sure he's okay being tracked. He will be alerted if a tag is following him (so you should let him know). This should be a fine solution, though.
A:AnswerIt should work perfectly with a Note 10+. The main requirement is a Samsung phone with Android 9 or newer. As for the old SmartTag1, I have no idea if they still sell it since this new version is out.
A:AnswerYou can put it in "lost mode" to get a msg when it's found. Only you/the tag owner(s) can see the item's location. It's quite secure. If you attempt to follow or stalk someone with the tracker, it will alert them (on either iOS or Android). The message is quite alarming and will say that a tag has been following you/your route (and you can report/disable it for safety).
