I'm facing compatibility issues between UAE-based telecom SIM cards and some older GPS tracking devices (2G-based, especially from 2018-2020 models). Either the signal is lost after restart or the tracker shows offline frequently.
Anyone else facing this in 2025 with Etisalat or DU SIMs?
Are there recommended APN settings or SIM types for stable performance in older trackers?

I think you can try using IoT-grade SIMs from Etisalat Business or du, but check whether they support 3G or 4G fallback, not just 2G (in most cases they don’t support 2G anymore)
