Plug it in. Forget about it. For up to 8 years. A 4G GPS tracker SIM card built for vehicles, caravans, asset trackers and personal trackers across Australia. One payment up front. No monthly fees. No recharges. No surprise expiry the day you actually need your tracker. ✓ Pay once, use for 1, 3, 5 or 8 years — no monthly fees, no subscriptions, no auto-renewals ✓ Plug-and-play — insert the SIM and go, no setup calls ✓ Triple-cut SIM — fits Standard, Micro and Nano SIM slots, no adapter needed ✓ Multi-network (Telstra + Optus 4G) — works across both networks; network selection may vary depending on coverage and device behaviour ✓ 4G ready (post-3G shutdown) — works with any 4G LTE tracker after the October 2024 carrier 3G closure ✓ Built for trackers — long validity removes the recharge cycles that let standard prepaid SIMs lapse Why a multi-year SIM matters for GPS tracking If you've ever come back to a stored caravan, trailer or boat and found your GPS tracker offline, you already know the problem. Standard consumer prepaid SIMs are built around recurring recharge cycles — when recharges stop, the service eventually lapses. For a tracker that sits quietly online in the background, that recharge cycle is exactly the point of failure: the SIM lapses while the tracker is doing what you bought it for. A purpose-built multi-year tracker SIM keeps your device connected for years on a single one-time payment. No recharge cycles. No surprise expiry. No coming back to a dead tracker after the holidays. And since the 2024 3G shutdown across Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, every GPS tracker in Australia needs a 4G SIM. This one is designed for the way GPS trackers actually get used — long-term, low-data, set and forget. Will this SIM card work with my GPS tracker? ✅ Yes if your tracker is: 4G LTE compatible Designed for a Standard, Micro or Nano SIM card Using between 100MB and 2GB of mobile data per month Not subscription-locked to a proprietary carrier or service ❌ No if your tracker is: 2G or 3G only — these networks shut down across Australia in October 2024 A dash cam, video tracker or device needing more than 2GB per month Not sure? Contact us with your tracker brand and model before ordering — we'll check it for you. Not sure which plan to choose? If you're weighing up data tiers, validity length, or whether a prepaid SIM beats a monthly plan for your tracker, our buyer's guide walks through the decision step by step.

What's included 1 × 4G LTE GPS tracker SIM card 1 × SIM ejector pin Triple-cut SIM (fits Standard, Micro and Nano slots — no separate adapter) Setup instructions Free shipping Australia-wide How it works Choose your validity (1, 3, 5 or 8 years) and monthly data (100MB to 2GB) Your SIM ships from Melbourne with free Australia-wide delivery Insert it into your tracker — it connects within 1-2 minutes Network coverage in Australia This SIM gives your tracker access to both Telstra and Optus 4G networks — Australia's two largest carriers. Your tracker has access to both networks; network selection may vary depending on coverage and device behaviour at its location. Whether your tracker spends most of its time in metro areas, on rural property, near the coast, or on the highway between them, it has access to both Telstra and Optus 4G rather than being locked to a single carrier. Combined Telstra + Optus coverage includes: All capital cities and major regional towns Most rural Australia and inland highways Coastal areas and major boating regions Most caravan parks and tourist destinations Standard farm and rural property locations For deep outback, dense bushland or off-grid use beyond any cellular range, satellite tracking is the only option — no cellular SIM of any kind will work in those areas. Important things to know before ordering ⚠️ Data-only. This SIM does not support voice calls or SMS. If your tracker requires SMS for first-time setup, use a regular SIM to configure first, then swap in the Lemon Mobile SIM for ongoing use. ⚠️ 3G is gone. Australia's 3G networks closed in October 2024 (Telstra, Optus and Vodafone). If your tracker is 2G or 3G only, no SIM card will bring it back online — you'll need a 4G-compatible tracker. ⚠️ Subscription-locked trackers can't accept this SIM. Some tracker brands ship with non-removable SIMs or are firmware-locked to their own subscription service. Check your tracker has a physical SIM slot before ordering. ⚠️ Validity starts when you insert the SIM, not when you order. Your plan duration begins the day you insert the SIM into your tracker and it first connects to the network — not the day of purchase or shipping. This means you can buy now and store the SIM until you're ready to use it. Plans are extendable — contact support before expiry to renew. GPS tracker SIM troubleshooting Tracker not connecting? Work through these in order: Confirm your tracker is 4G LTE — not 2G or 3G only. Check the manual or look for "4G" or "LTE" on the device label. Check the SIM is the right way around — flip and reinsert if unsure. Wait 1-2 minutes after insertion for first connection. Indoor or low-signal locations may take longer. Verify APN is set to: mobile (lowercase, username and password blank). Power cycle the tracker (off, wait 10 seconds, on). Test in an area with confirmed 4G coverage — outdoors or near a window if you've been testing in a thick-walled room or basement. For SMS-controlled trackers, send a status command via SMS using a different SIM to verify the tracker is responsive. Still no connection? Contact us — we'll work through it with you. FAQ Will this SIM work with my specific tracker? It works with most 4G LTE trackers that have a physical SIM slot. If your tracker is 4G LTE compatible, accepts a Standard, Micro or Nano SIM, and isn't subscription-locked, it should work. Contact us with your tracker brand and model before ordering and we'll confirm compatibility for free. Why did my GPS tracker stop working in late 2024 or 2025? Australia's 3G networks shut down in October 2024 — Telstra, Optus and Vodafone all closed their 3G services. If your tracker is 3G only, no SIM card will work in it anymore; you'll need a new 4G-capable tracker. If your tracker is 4G capable, this SIM will bring it back online. How long does the GPS tracker SIM stay active? Your choice — 1, 3, 5 or 8 years from activation. Validity counts down from the day you insert the SIM into your tracker and it first connects to the network — not from the day of purchase or shipping. You can buy now and store the SIM until you're ready to use it. Is there a monthly fee or recurring charge? No. You pay once at purchase for the full validity period. No monthly fees, no recharges, no contracts, no auto-renewals. The longer the validity you choose, the lower the total cost works out to. What APN settings does my tracker need? APN: mobile (lowercase, no spaces). Username and password are blank for most trackers. Refer to your tracker's user manual for how to enter APN settings if your tracker requires manual configuration. How much data does a GPS tracker use per month? It depends on how often your tracker reports its location. Infrequent reporting — stored caravans, parked assets, movement-triggered updates — sits at the low end and fits the Standard 100MB plan. Regular reporting during daily driving fits Standard or Plus. Frequent updates or live tracking need Pro (500MB) or above. Over-buying data doesn't improve reliability — match the plan to your tracker's reporting interval. See our data usage guide for detailed estimates by reporting mode. Which mobile network does this SIM use — Telstra or Optus? Both. This SIM has access to Telstra and Optus 4G networks. Network selection may vary depending on coverage and device behaviour at the tracker's location. Rather than being locked to one carrier, the device has access to both, so it isn't restricted to a single network's footprint. Both Telstra and Optus are tier-1 Australian carriers. Will this SIM work in remote or rural areas? Yes, anywhere within Telstra or Optus 4G coverage — which together cover most of populated Australia, including major rural highways, regional towns, coastal areas and most farms. Network selection may vary depending on coverage and device behaviour. For deep outback, dense bushland or off-grid locations beyond any cellular range, satellite-based tracking is the only option. What happens when the validity period ends? The SIM stops working and your tracker goes offline. To renew, simply place a new order for your desired plan and leave a checkout note with your SIM ID and renewal request — we'll handle the extension for you. You can also contact support directly before the expiry date. Where does the SIM card ship from? Our SIM cards ship from Melbourne, Australia. Free shipping nationwide on all orders.
