Question 1

What is an MSISDN tracker and how is it different from a SIM tracker?

Accepted Answer

MSISDN stands for Mobile Station International Subscriber Directory Number. An MSISDN tracker and a SIM tracker refer to the same technology: a location tracking system that uses the SIM card's network identity to determine real-time position through the mobile operator's infrastructure, without GPS hardware.

Question 2

Is SIM-based tracking accurate enough for fleet management in India?

Accepted Answer

For most fleet management use cases, yes. SIM tracking on smartphones with AGPS delivers 5-20 metre accuracy. On feature phones in urban areas, accuracy is 50-150 metres, sufficient for field force and logistics monitoring.

Question 3

Can I integrate SIM tracking into my existing logistics or TMS platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dotmove offers a SIM Tracking API allowing enterprises to embed real-time SIM location data into logistics platforms, TMS, or ERP via REST API with sub-second response time across all major Indian networks.

Question 4

Does SIM-based tracking work across all telecom networks in India?

Accepted Answer

Dotmove currently supports Jio (99%+ districts), Airtel (97%), and Vi (92%). BSNL integration is coming next month for deep rural coverage.

Question 5

Is SIM-based tracking legal in India?

Accepted Answer

Dotmove's solution is designed in compliance with TRAI regulations. Enterprise fleet tracking under an employment relationship is legally permissible when disclosed in agreements. Dotmove does not support unauthorised surveillance of third parties.
