This page answers one question: will your GPS tracker model work with a Lemon Mobile prepaid data SIM in Australia or New Zealand? Below is our GPS tracker SIM compatibility list. Each entry shows our current conclusion and the evidence behind it, and the conclusions apply in both Australia and New Zealand. If your tracker isn't listed, email us the exact model and we'll check it for free before you order.

How to read the conclusions

• Confirmed compatible — confirmed working with our SIM in real-world use.
• Compatible by specification — the manufacturer's published specifications for the exact model match our service requirements. Hardware versions and regional variants can differ, so confirm the version before ordering.
• Needs further confirmation — information is incomplete, hardware versions differ, or the device has requirements we need to check with you first. Contact us with the exact model before ordering.

Each conclusion is backed by evidence from our own network, the manufacturer's published documentation, or an authorised distributor. No conclusion here is a blanket guarantee: manufacturers ship regional variants and firmware revisions that a model name alone doesn't reveal.

Quick check: the four things that decide compatibility

1. Standard 4G LTE modem — a device sold as "4G" can use LTE Cat-M1 or NB-IoT internally, which our SIMs do not support. Check the modem specification, not the product name (more in our GPS tracker SIM guide).
2. Australian / New Zealand bands — the same model sold overseas can ship with a different band set; check the exact regional variant for the country where the tracker will run.
3. A removable physical SIM slot — Standard, Micro or Nano. If the tracker also uses manufacturer-managed or bundled connectivity, confirm that the SIM slot accepts a third-party BYO SIM and is not restricted to the vendor's service.
4. Setup method — several models in this list take their settings by SMS command, which a data-only SIM cannot receive; the regular-SIM-first workflow below solves it.

Setup at a glance

Trackers on this list that don't require SMS for setup:

• Teltonika FMC920 — configured over USB or Bluetooth with Teltonika's Configurator

Trackers on this list that need initial SMS setup (regular SIM first, then swap to the data-only SIM):

• SinoTrack ST-915L, ST-906L, ST-901L, ST-907L
• Nextech LA9038
• TKSTAR TK905-4G

The SMS is only for sending the tracker its settings (APN, server, reporting interval) — a data-only SIM cannot receive those commands, so an unconfigured tracker stays silent even with a working SIM. Once configured, tracking itself runs on mobile data. Full steps: device setup and APN guide.

Regional variants. The same model name can ship with different modems for different regions, and an imported unit can fit your SIM physically yet miss Australian or New Zealand bands. Band B28 (700 MHz) is used in Australian and New Zealand 4G networks and can be important for coverage outside metropolitan areas — check the exact regional variant rather than assuming every version of a model supports the same bands.

How we verify device compatibility

Conclusions on this page come from real-world use of our SIMs in customer deployments and from the published documentation of manufacturers and authorised distributors — never marketplace listings or forum posts. The date this list was last checked is shown at the bottom of this page, and entries are re-reviewed when a new hardware version ships or a customer reports a difference. We don't guarantee every hardware version of a model, and we only mark a device Confirmed compatible once it has run on our service in the real world.

Australia and New Zealand

The conclusions on this page apply in both Australia and New Zealand: the models in this list connect over standard 4G bands that are deployed on the networks of both countries. Our confirmed deployments to date are Australian. Buying for New Zealand? See the GPS Tracker SIM (New Zealand). Tracking a vehicle or asset that moves between the two countries? One SIM covers both — see the Australia & New Zealand GPS Tracker SIM.

Frequently asked questions

My tracker isn't on the list — does that mean it's incompatible?

No. The list covers models we have checked, not the whole market. Send us the exact model name and we'll check it before you order.

What does "Compatible by specification" mean?

The manufacturer's published specification for that exact model matches our service requirements. Hardware versions and regional variants can differ, so it is a specification-level conclusion for the listed model, not a guarantee for every unit — confirm your version before ordering.

I bought a no-subscription GPS tracker that takes my own SIM — will a Lemon Mobile SIM work in it?

That device class is exactly what this page covers: trackers sold without a built-in subscription, where you supply the SIM. Check your model in the list above, run the four quick checks, and plan for the regular-SIM-first setup if your tracker is configured by SMS. If it's not listed, email us the model.

Which trackers on this list don't need SMS for setup?

The Teltonika FMC920 is configured over USB or Bluetooth with Teltonika's Configurator, so no SMS is needed for setup. For the SMS-configured models, the regular-SIM-first workflow adds one extra step — see "Setup at a glance" above.
