Do GPS Trackers Need a Subscription?
Most real-time GPS trackers need an active service plan because the device must send location data through a cellular network to your app.
Why service is required?
A real-time GPS tracker is not just a piece of hardware. It needs cellular data, cloud service, app access, alert delivery, and ongoing platform support. Without active service, the device cannot deliver live location updates to your phone.
Hardware Only vs service included
Hardware Only means the device is included but TrackerOne tracking service is not active yet. Hardware + 1-Year Service Included means the device comes with 12 months of TrackerOne service from activation. Renewal is required after the included service period.
GPS location
The tracker calculates position using GPS signals.
Cellular data
The tracker sends that location to the cloud through a data connection.
