Is there an alarm that meets all of these criteria:

1) 1-mile claimed range 2-way remote
2) Smart phone capable
3) GPS tracking included without separate add-on accessory

Which alarm make and model if so?

Seems like they all either have 1-mile range and no smart phone capability, or smart phone capability and short range remote only.

Also, I'm not clear if any alarms have GPS tracking ability built-in without buying a monthly or yearly subscription. Seems like that should exist.

Thanks. If I don't get the 1-mile 2-way remote, is there another model that has GPS tracking without needing an add-on and subscription fees?

From what you're describing it sounds like in every case it's an add-on that you buy separately, and there are no exceptions. I will be taking the alarm that I buy overseas so it has to support a CDMA (AT&T Style) SIM card for the GPS. I also need to buy 2 actuators, and some relays so I can have the headlights and taillights stay on for 10 seconds to locate the car in a parking lot. What you think of the Scytek Mobilink 777 2-Way Car Alarm Vehicle Security System With Smartphone Integration?
