Roaming Profile for Cross-Border Trucks
When a vehicle crosses a border, its tracking SIM has to connect to a foreign network to keep sending data. A roaming profile keeps the SIM reporting abroad, so you don't lose tracking while the truck is out of the country.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a special SIM or plan for roaming?
Yes. The roaming profile only works if the SIM and its plan allow roaming. Make sure the tracking SIM is on a plan that permits use on foreign networks before the truck crosses the border, otherwise data will be lost abroad.
