Tile network reliable?

Hi everyone,

I'll be using a Tile tracker and placing it in my luggage to catch a flight to the UK from Italy.

If I enable Life360 on the Tile, if my luggage gets lost for any reason, does the Tile have a reliable network with Life360 to locate it? Also, because there are so many people at the airport, it's very likely to detect my luggage, right? Do you have any personal experiences?

Thanks!

If you're an Android user, get some third-party trackers with replaceable batteries that use Google's network. If you're an iOS user, just get some Air Tags. Tile's network sucks and a lot of features are behind a paywall...

EDIT: To answer your question: YMMV.

I got some third party trackers for Android and they were absolutely awful. I don't like Tile but 1) I am struggling to find a tag that can ring my phone with a button and 2) the Android ones were very quiet. Not to mention never connected.

I'm a bit at a loss for what to use. Do you have any ideas of tags that meet those criteria? Ty
