[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 786414, member: 50197"] Not sure I would be onboard with it at 3-5 times the cost. The Freesytle 14 day sensors are just under $40 each, my out of pocket cost. Scanning the sensor with this system is extremely easy to do, so I would not be willing to pay a ton more for just a little more convenience. I haven't tried using the cell phone with this system yet. The phone I had was not compatible. I just got a new one that is, but have to wait for the next sensor to be put on before I can use it. Apparently, you can use both the reader and a cell, but you have to do the initial scan with the reader, then scan it within an hour of activation with the cell.
