SIM CARDS: (when not supplied with the hardware)

You must have a SIM card installed in your device (For reasons of easy access do this before you have it installed)

In order to use your device, it has to be connected to a cellular network using a SIM card, however unlike a smartphone Gator tracking devices use very small amounts of data. On average, most devices will use between 5 to 8MB per month (depending on how often and how much time the object is moving each day) that's less than 100MB over a 12 month period. Keep this in mind when selecting the best plan for you. For prepaid SIM plan buyers, pay careful attention to the expiry dates of the prepaid credit. Shop around for the best suited deal. And pay attention to the terms and conditions, as some prohibit commercial/tracker usage. 

Network coverage

The GTRAK4QB tracker can operate on *all* Australian networks 3G networks.

The gtrack4g model is a 3G tracker that can operate on all 3G networks, but is better suited to the Telstra network, due to the radio frequencies used.

Installation

Your device comes complete with an installation manual. This guide does not provide information on how to install and operate the device itself and is related to the online tracking server. Each product page should include a link to the relevant hardware manual however.

Legacy - 3G SMS Command Mode

Whilst the tracking server has many advanced tracking and reporting features, legacy 3G Gator tracking devices can be used without the server to gain basic tracking information on the device such as location, status, speed, direction and even some limited geofencing alerts. Refer to your manual to see if your hardware supports this.

Note: GTKPRO2 does not support SMS Command Mode, the server must be used.
