The PeTrack is like a sophisticated cellular phone, you will now need a SIM card / cellular provider
for this device in order for it to notify you of its whereabouts at any given time. This allows your
PeTrack to send you text messages of its location.
3.
Fortunately the use of GPS satellites is free, but the use of GSM cellular phone towers is not.
However the GSM cost is negligible considering the PeTrack only requires text messages to
inform you of its location. (Only a Basic Talk and Text plan is required)
4.
If you’re not sure what provider to use or where to locate a Prepaid GSM SIM Card, contact
the vendor you purchased your PeTrack from and they can quickly locate an economical
GSM carrier for your area.
ACTIVATE AND LOAD YOUR SIM CARD WITH FUNDS
1.
Once you have a SIM Card handy, ensure you’ve activated it through the SIM Card’s carrier’s
website. Alternatively you can call them to activate it. They may ask you if you want to buy a
phone or what phone it is for, etc… You simply tell them you would like to activate and fund your
SIM card; you do not need any other hardware.
2.
Reload/Recharge/Fund/Put Money On to the SIM CARD. There are various names for this;
however they all have the same meaning, after activation you will need to put funds on
your new SIM card in order for it to work. Depending on the plan you selected, the cost will vary
but most are very economical. Only select a plan according to what you believe your needs
will be. We recommend a simple low cost Pay As You Go plan, so this way you’re not paying for a
subscription.
INSTALLING SIM CARD
Please first make sure that the GSM SIM card you are using is already activated, has a phone number
from the cellular carrier, and funding is loaded on the SIM card, so it’s ready to use. This device only
works with a specific size SIM card. The correct size to use is a
Full Size / Standard SIM Card,
not a
micro-SIM or nano-SIM size (
see example on next page
).
