FAQs
What network does it use in the USA?****
Tractive has several roaming partners in every country – therefore we do work with different providers in the US as well. We always try to connect to the best available network.
what range does the tracker have to be for the phone app?? ex. 2 mi range??****
It does not matter, where the tracker is – as we use the mobile network and therefore a SIM card is integrated in the tracker. Please keep in mind that you need a subscription for that – all plans can be found via tractive.com/plans
Can you set multiple homes (example one dog at one address and another dog at another address)?****
You can set several virtual fences – no matter where they are. And yes – if 2 dogs are at different locations you can track both of them with the same account (but you need one subscription per tracker).
Can I transfer my subscription/plan to another tracker if I lose one?****
Yes, in case you have to replace a tracker for whatever reason you can easily
transfer the subscription from one tracker to another one.

If I pay for the year thing can I add more than one animal to it?
You can add several pets to your profile in the app – but every tracker needs a separate subscription (no matter, which duration you select).
Do these work for dogs over 50 lbs.?****
Absolutely, we recommend the minimum weight of around 9lbs, so for a 50lbs dog this would be great.
I have a Siberian husky How wide does the dog collar have to be to fit snug and not fall off?****
Our rubber clips fit collars up to 2.8 cm (1 inch) wide, so the tracker should be able to attach securely to any collar with up to width.
I am a data analyst and would like to download the data to analyze myself—is this possible?****
With our PREMIUM subscription, you can export the GPS data via KML or GPX file.
Could i use this for my child? Seems like it would fit perfectly on their belt or in their bookbag****
You could, but that brings up the question of whether or not it’s ethical to treat your child like an animal with no autonomy.
any difference between beige and white? or just color****
The only difference is the color – everything else is identical.
Why would I need to get a new one every month? The product is offered with Amazon subscribe and save?****
In this case please contact Amazon in regards to their subscribe and save policy.
I have a brochure where they call it a dog & cat tracker. It appears far too large for a cat. Is it?****
We recommend the minimum weight of 4kg for the tracker to comfortably be worn by the pet. However, the tracker should be suitable for all adult cats.
Does it work in Alaska?****
Yes – as we’ve roaming contacts with several network providers in the US it
works in Alaska as well.
But please keep in mind, that there might be issues in very rural areas – you
can give it a try and cancel for a full refund in the first 14 days if it does
not work in the area you live.
I have gps vox tracking app on my phone already for my bike. can i add this gps device to that without ordering your subscription?****
To start receiving position updates from this tracker, you will need to purchase a subscription plan for the tracker. The reason for this is that each tracker contains an inbuilt SIM card that generates monthly costs – like a cell phone. These costs are covered by the subscription plan. Without a subscription plan, it’s not possible to receive position updates from the tracker.
This uses cell signal-so in our “marginal coverage” area, to quote Verizon, at &t and T-Mobile, this is useless in our upstate NY location, correct?****
The tracker will connect to the strongest network in the area in over 175 countries. Unfortunately, if the cell coverage is too weak, the tracker will struggle to send GPS positions from the tracker to your phone so you might have difficulties tracking (in remote areas for example). We do offer a 30 day subscription refund policy which gives you the opportunity to try the tracker out and see if it will work in your area.
