Tack GPS devices are built to deliver optimal performance and convenience without requiring a separate SIM card. Here’s why:


Why You Don’t Need Your Own SIM Card

  1. Built-In Specialised SIM Card:

    • Tack GPS devices come equipped with a built-in LTE-M SIM card.

    • LTE-M is a low-power wide-area network designed specifically for IoT devices, ensuring greater power efficiency and reliability.

  2. Global Roaming and Cost Savings:

    • Leveraging economies of scale, Tack offers global roaming capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional SIM cards.

    • This translates to additional cost savings and lower subscription rates for our users.


Tack Cloud Subscription: A Necessary Component

  • Why It’s Required:

    • The Tack Cloud subscription is essential for the built-in SIM card to function. It enables the device to communicate with our secure cloud service for seamless location tracking.

  • Affordable Plans:

    • Subscription plans start as low as $2.95 per month, offering significant peace of mind at an affordable price.

  1. No Hassle:

    • Eliminates the need to purchase and manage a separate SIM card.

  2. Power Efficiency:

    • The built-in SIM card is optimised for IoT use, ensuring extended battery life.

  3. Global Coverage:

    • Works across 30+ countries (Tack GPS) and 120+ countries (Tack GPS Plus).

  4. Cost-Effectiveness:

    • Tack’s subscription model offers one of the most affordable plans in the market compared to our competitors, providing exceptional value for our users.
