CoreGPS GPS Trackers: Do You Need to Provide Your Own SIM Card?

tl;dr? No you don't!

Do I Need to Supply My Own SIM Card for CoreGPS?

At CoreGPS, we make GPS tracking as easy and reliable as possible. One of the most common questions we receive is, “Do I need to supply my own SIM card?” The answer is simple: no, you do not need to supply your own SIM card!

When you purchase a GPS tracking device from CoreGPS, the SIM card is included and fully managed by us. This eliminates the hassle of managing connectivity or sourcing a SIM card, so you can focus on tracking your assets with no extra setup required.

Why Is CoreGPS supplied SIM Card Different?

The CoreGPS supplied SIM card is designed for global connectivity, offering coverage in 131 countries. But the real advantage for Australian customers lies in the superior coverage provided by multiple Australian carriers. Unlike traditional SIM cards that are locked to a single carrier, CoreGPS's supplied SIM card dynamically connects to the best available network being Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. This ensures that your GPS tracker stays connected to the strongest signal, no matter where you are in Australia.

In the case of a stolen vehicle being shipped outside of Australia, the SIM card ensures your GPS tracker continues to work in the following regions EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. However, the real strength lies in the better network coverage within Australia.

What Does This Mean for You?

  • Better Coverage Across Australia: CoreGPS’s SIM card ensures that your GPS tracker connects to the best available network, as it can automatically choose from multiple Australian carriers. This provides you with superior coverage even in remote or hard-to-reach locations, where other trackers may struggle with connectivity.
  • No Network Locking: Traditional SIM cards are often locked to a specific carrier, but CoreGPS supplied SIM card is carrier-independent. It connects to the strongest available network, ensuring reliable coverage for your vehicle, no matter where it is located in Australia.
  • Managed Data: We handle all SIM card management, so you don’t have to worry about switching carriers or handling connectivity issues. Whether your device is used in a city or a more remote location, we’ve got it covered.

The Benefits of CoreGPS’s provided SIM Card

  • Superior Coverage in Australia: Our SIM card connects to multiple Australian carriers (Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone), ensuring your GPS tracker stays connected no matter where you are.

SIM Management: Behind the Scenes

At CoreGPS, we use an internal SIM management dashboard to efficiently monitor and manage all our SIM cards. This tool helps us keep track of which SIM cards are connected to which carriers and ensures the best possible connectivity for your GPS tracker.

Here’s an example of how we manage the SIM cards in our system:
