What’s the difference between a SIM card location tracker and GPS tracking? Does SIM tracking still work if GPS is turned off?

Great question! Let’s break down SIM card location tracking:
A SIM card location tracker uses the mobile network to estimate the location of a device. Every time your phone connects to a cell tower, the carrier knows roughly where you are. SIM tracking uses this info.
GPS tracking, on the other hand, uses satellites to pinpoint your exact location.
The big difference? SIM tracking can still work even if GPS is turned off because your phone is always communicating with cell towers as long as it’s on. It’s less precise than GPS, but it’s a good backup.
Did you know that with Haqerra, you can track a device’s location using both GPS and SIM card data? This ensures you get the most accurate location info possible, even if one method fails. Plus, it offers geofencing and location history! Pretty cool, right? ![]()
