I've been waiting for some responses to this as well as I'd like to know more about them. My brother is keen to get one for his car. From what I've heard the paging works quite well if you have direct line of sight to the car with minimal obstructions in the way. The more walls, cars, buildings that are in the way the less distance the pager will reach.
That being said, the paging uses (I believe) FM radio waves to transmit between pager and car so if you are never more than maybe 200m from your car in a built up area (ie Westfields carpark) you should get some feed back, but there is alot of concrete and steel that the signal needs to get through.
Jaycar have a similar paging alarm for around $350 but you don't get all the little things that the boomerang has like turbo timer, remote start (which i think is illegal in Aust) but is quoted at having a 2km line of sight range.
