C13 Tracker with 1nce SIM card

Stefan47a year ago

Dear form,

I have been trying for weeks to get my C13 GPS tracker to work, unfortunately without success. I use SIM cards from 1nce.com. When I send a SMS to the C13 I get no response. Therefore I have tried the following:

  1. I put the 1nce SIM in a cell phone and send a SMS with "test". - Works. Then I sent an SMS back with "Response" - Works.
  2. I put the SIM card from Telekom into the C13 and sent the following messages: "#apn#123456#iot.1nce.net" and "#check#123456" - Unfortunately here no answer.

What else can I test?
Has anyone the same problems?

Please help

Your SIM card must not have a PIN.

I assume you speak German.
Have you looked at this page?
https://www.my-gps.org/gps-tracker/anleitung/448-c13-relais-gps-tracker-anleitung
"Achtung (!) Es gibt von diesem Modell mehrere Kopien, die völlig andere Befehle verwenden"

I also use 1nce, but with trackers that don't need to be configured with SMS.
SMS works very well, in both directions.

I'm not sure, but I think you can see if your device is connected on the 1nce website.

Hello Chris,

first of all thank you for the quick response.

PIN:
I have inserted the SIM into a cell phone and could not detect any PIN lock. Also in the documentation of the SIM no PIN is mentioned. I think we can cut that out.

Version:
I have already found a lot of documentation.
My tracker came with this link http://qr61.cn/o7wHa2/qAH2jgt
On the first page it says "C13" and in the poor documentation the APN command "#apn#123456#APN" so I sent "#apn#123456#iot.1nce.net" to set my APN. - No response.
Using the link you gave me I created the following overview:

Version Password APN command
Sinotrack ST907 0000 8030000 iot.1nce.net
LK720, CJ720, MV720 123456 apn123456 iot.1nce.net
C13 Relais GPS Tracker No password STAP:iot.1nce.net
Microdus MV730 Relais GPS Tracker 123456 apn123456 iot.1nce.net

You can see my APN command does not exist in the list. So it seems to be an additional variant. Or maybe the documentation is wrong.
In the internet I have found I found a different APN command for the CJ720 "APN123456:iot.1nce.net". Also I have found that someone received an SMS after setting the APN with the content "APN OK".

Status:
From the 1nce website the following statuses are displayed:
SIM in cell phone - Green (online)
SIM in tracker - Yellow (attached)

The green LED flashes after I apply power to the tracker. Then a pause and after some time again.

Is there any SMS ping or does anyone have any idea how I can communicate with the tracker?

Thanks

[I also use 1nce, but with trackers that don't need to be configured with SMS.]

i know the 1nce sims cannot be sms'ed froma phone and you can only do it through the 1nce interface. best to use a normal sim to setup your device then put the 1nce sim in. i currenlty have 200 devices using 1nce sim and have all been initially setup using a normal sim then any alterations or queries done through 1nce web site
