Unsure what G device is, but we’ve never discussed the need for two way calling capabilities.

8. Are you looking for the GPS devices to be long life without changing batteries, if so, how long do you want the device to work before changing the battery?

A long batter life would be desirable. As far as what time frame is wanted, what are the options/costs involved with a longer battery life.

9. How many times a day would you want to ping the device for its location, is it on demand, once a day, once a week? This is important for battery life?

We would want to be able to ping most units every 30 to 60 seconds. Other units may only need to be pinged 30-60 minutes or every day. Some items are used at much high rate than others.
