SIM cards but your GPS trackers are VJOYCAR 2G GPS trackers; Make sure
the SIM card is with both gsm sms and gprs service even you don’t want to use
online tracking platform; Make sure the SIM card is with Call ID service also.

C. For Portable Trackers, insert SIM and you will see GREEN light flash once
and then turn to on for 30 second, trackers will be on directly, don’t need press
the button again;For cable installed trackers, once complete install and get
power with car battery, trackers will be on directly also.
D. Call Device’s SIM phone number and make sure it could get through but
without answer.!

Step 2 Set APN (Access Point Name).

This setting is to enable tracker to upload data to the server through GPRS!
A. Different Telecom provider has different APN. Please confirm APN setting
on your SIM operator’s website or call your SIM operator directly. E.g.
Vodafone APN:live.vodafone.com (Some time APN will include username and
password)!
B. Use your cellphone to send SMS *apn*aXXX*bXXX*cXXX* to the SIM
number in the device.
aXXX refer to APN, bXXX refers
to username, cXXX refers to
password. If there is no username
and password required, just leave
bXXXXX*cXXXXX* as blank.! aXXX,
bXXX, cXXX are just samples, don’t
send this sms directly!

C. Your cellphone will receive SMS reply, says the appointed APN is set (See
screenshot as above).
Notes:
1. No matter what APN settings you send to the device,you will get a reply as
long as the SMS format is right. But it doesn't mean the device has connected
 Web: www.vjoycar.com Email: sales@vjoycar.com Skype: vjoycar Whatsapp:0086-136-21925935

to server successfully. You have to finish the second step to make sure the
APN settings is correct.!

2. The APN setting is for the SIM card inside the gps tracker, not for your own
master control cellphone number. Especially, when the SIM card inside the
tracker and the SIM card inside your master control cellphone are from two
different operator, and you mess them up, then you can’t see the device work
at all.

3. Step 3 Set Master Number.

A. Use master conrol cellphone to

successfully set”. And you cellphone
number will be the only master phone
to the tracker (See screenshot as
below).

Notes:
1.on above photo, +86 is our country code, pls replace it to your own country
code; 13621925935 is the cellphone number which is sending sms to the
tracker SIM phone, not the tracker SIM phone number. Don’t mess it up!
2.123456 is the default password, it can be changed by SMS command after
the registration.
3.“+” symbol is necessary before the country code so that server is able to tell
where the data is coming from. E.g. +1 for US, +44 for UK , +39 for Italy!
4.If there is no sms reply. Pls kindly double check: whether APN settings is
wrong, please contact the SIM operator to confirm APN settings again;
whether the tracker is with gsm signal now, pls kindly call it; whether the SIM
card is with 2G service still(3g gps trackers no need 2G service), pls contact
with your operator.
