General

The IMEI number can be found printed on the actual tracking unit. It is a unique identifier for the hardware.

SIM Cards

If your Gator Tracking Device came supplied with a SIM CARD, DO NOT insert this SIM CARD into any other device other than your Gator Tracking Device. The SIM CARD is registered to the specific Gator Tracking Device it has come supplied with. If the SIM CARD is inserted into another device (including other Gator Tracking Devices), it will be permanently disabled. If you are experiencing issues with your SIM CARD, please email [email protected] for assistance.

Yes.

All Gator GPS Tracking Systems require a sim card so they can communicate with the tracking server. The sim card requires its own unique identification number. We recommend using a M2M sim card or mobile sim card. The sim card must have credit available at all times to allow the tracking server to communicate with it.

Standard sim cards will not work with trackers that come with a Telstra M2M sim.

This has happened a few times, the service is generally not disconnected immediately, but will be cut off eventually.

If you find your SIM not working but you have subscribed, it might have been disconnected before you subscribed!.. In which case, it pays to make a support ticket, so our staff can reactivate the SIM.

We are charged for reactivating these SIM's, so will pass this cost onto you.

Subscriptions

Subscription is required on some Gator Tracking Devices, please visit gatortracking.com.au/subscriptions for more details.

Undo a cancellation ?

Changing that back to Auto Renew will resume the subscription and resume charging you annually, as per the agreement. However: If you wait until AFTER a cancelled subscription has ended you will no longer be able to resume. To rectify this, you must contact us to remove the subscription entirely, then setup a new one.

Important note: If you sold your vehicle with the tracker in it, you should immediately cancel your subscription and delete the object from your account. It is very likely that you have a legal obligation to do this before they take possession.
