General questions before purchasing

These answers apply to most Lil Tracker 4G GPS watches and pendants. Features can vary by model.

Which Lil Tracker device should I choose?

Kids GPS watches are designed around parent-managed calling, location tracking and child-friendly features. Senior watches add caregiver-focused features such as auto-answer and fall alerts on supported models. GPS pendants are useful for someone who may prefer a simpler device worn around the neck, clipped to clothing or carried with them.

Visit our device comparison page or contact our sales team for help choosing.

Does a Lil Tracker GPS device need a SIM card?

Yes. A 4G Lil Tracker GPS watch or pendant requires a compatible SIM card with active cellular service.

Mobile data is used for location updates and communication with the app. Voice service is also required for standard calls, SOS calls, auto-answer and Remote Monitoring on devices that support those features.

Canadian customers can review our Lil Tracker SIM plans and add-ons. Customers using another provider should confirm compatibility before purchase.

Are there monthly fees for the Lil Tracker GPS app?

Lil Tracker does not charge a separate monthly subscription fee for using the Lil Tracker GPS app.

The GPS device still requires an active SIM card and cellular service plan. The cost of that plan depends on the carrier and the services included.

Can more than one family member or caregiver use the app?

Yes. Multiple family members or caregivers can use the Lil Tracker GPS app and connect to the same device.

Each caregiver should create their own app account. If another caregiver cannot connect to the device, contact support and include the device registration code and a screenshot of the message shown in the app.

Does my phone need to use the same mobile carrier as the tracker?

No. The Lil Tracker has its own SIM card and cellular connection. Your phone can use a completely different mobile carrier.

You only need an internet connection on your phone to use the Lil Tracker GPS app.

Will a Lil Tracker work outside Canada?

Lil Tracker devices can often be used internationally with a compatible local SIM card, supported cellular network bands and suitable coverage.

Network compatibility varies by country and carrier. Contact us before ordering if you would like us to review the intended country and mobile provider.

How accurate is the GPS location?

GPS is normally most accurate outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Buildings, indoor use, weak cellular coverage and nearby obstructions can affect the location shown.

When GPS is unavailable, the device may use Wi-Fi or cellular tower positioning. These methods can provide an approximate location but may be less precise than outdoor GPS.

Learn more in our GPS geofencing guide.

Are Lil Tracker watches and pendants waterproof?

Some models have IP67-rated water resistance, but they are not waterproof. They should not be used for swimming, bathing, showering, hot tubs or prolonged water exposure.

Water resistance can decrease through wear, impact or damage. Review the specifications of the individual model before purchase.

Read our IP67 water protection guide for a fuller explanation.

What warranty and return protection is included?

Lil Tracker devices include a one-year device warranty, subject to the warranty terms and exclusions. Eligible purchases may also be returned within the applicable return period.
