Why you need a subscription<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Subscription requirement<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each individual tracker requires an active subscription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The subscription is needed to cover the monthly cellular data cost.
\u2022 The tracker use cellular data, the same way as a smartphone, in order to send signals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The tracker does not use a lot of data, which is the reason why we can keep prices as low as today.
\u2022 The costs are only enough for us to cover taxes, payment processing fees and R&D\/future development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An active subscription is vital for the tracker to function, as well as the insurance to be valid (if applicable).
