Does beacon receive user messages right away or is waiting for sync?

LTE Beacons

When I want to send user message via the api

https://cloud.estimote.com/v3/lte/user_messages

Lets say I am sending a user message "stolen’ to a beacon which is set to sync on 6 hours.The message is supposed to change the sync time to every 15 minutes. Does the device change sync right away or is it waiting for 6 hours to change its mode? Is it possible to live track the beacon? Does it have GPRS only or GPS and GPRS?

Device is waiting for the next sync to receive user messages, so you will need to wait 6 hours.
It is possible to live track beacon, but it must send events very frequently and this means only few hours of working time.
It has both GPRS and GPS, but you need to enable GPRS with ‘setTech’, because by default it is LTE-M only.
