Tracking solutions that are easy to understand and light on the pocket!

Regular Reports
You get a separate report for every vehicle. You can access the travel history online on the app and the web portal or download it for future use. It has location, time, and geographical coordinates mentioned in it.

Enter Phone Number
Feed the phone number to be tracked into the software. Our system sends an SMS to the same number seeking the user’s consent.

Get Consent
It’s essential to get the permission of the sim owner to start tracking their phone.

Voila, Start Tracking!
As the network operator receives the consent, the tracking process starts within half an hour.
Benefits of Sim-based Tracking
-
Cost-effective Tracking Solution
Sim-based tracking requires no capital expenditure on tracking devices. Therefore, there are no overheads for their installation and maintenance either. You just need to pay a meagre amount for the tracking services.

Hassle-free Installation
All you need is a phone number, operator name, and permission to track. That is it! You mention these details on the portal to get it all started. It will not take more than an hour to get going and sometimes even less.
-
No Term-payments, Just Pay-per-use
You do not make term payments for Sim tracking services. Just pay as you go. You are charged a mere one coin per hit. No need to pay for the days when you do not use the service at all.
-
No Wear and Tear
As there is no need for installing the device, the chances of wear and tear are none in sim-based tracking. No damage happens to the vehicle. The vehicle stays in pristine condition.
-
No Internet Needed
It works well and unhindered even in remote areas where internet connectivity is poor or unavailable. It works on the cellular network, therefore, it does not require an internet connection at all.
-
It’s Absolutely Legal
Oh yes! Tracking a sim is not illegal as long as consent is provided by the person. It’s illegal to track someone’s phone without them knowing about it. We strictly comply with rules and regulations.

What are sim-based tracking solutions?
Sim based tracking is all about determining the location of the vehicle/person with the help of a sim. It shares the geographic coordinates derived from the nearest cellular tower. As the vehicle/employee moves, the sim keeps sharing the data on a regular interval that you receive on the app. It is more affordable than conventional tracking solutions as you do not need to install a device or pay for its maintenance to get real-time tracking services.
-
Do I need internet connectivity for sim card tracking?
No, you do not need an internet connection for sim based tracker to function. That’s the beauty of it.
-
Do I need to buy new sims, or regular sims from any operator will work?
With TrackoBit you get liberty in this case. Our system supports almost all telecom operators. In case you are doubtful about it. You can always get in touch with us to know more.
-
When and where are sim based trackers used?
Sim based tracking comes in handy when you want to track a vehicle or consignment but do not have enough time to install a GPS Tracker. Especially, when vehicles are hired on an ad hoc basis or rented for a few days.
-
What is the validity of the coins purchased?
TrackoBit’s Sim based tracking system works on the pre-paid model. You purchase coins that are stored in your coin bank. The validity of coins is 1 year. They lapse after 365 days.
-
What kind of phone is required for sim based tracking?
