FMB003 GPRS Deactivated

Hello everyone,

I bought the FMB003 second-hand, but I can’t get it to work. The SIM card is connected and “ready,” but no data is being sent… Why? GPRS is marked as deactivated, so I imagine this is problematic. I’m connecting with a 2G SIM card in France (Orange network).

What am I doing wrong? How to activate GPRS?

Thanks for your help / comment…

Firmware Version : 03.29.00 Rev:359

Hello @neph
Have you tried to change simcard?. If not you can try to change simcard because your problem is directly related to simcard

Hi @neph

Good day, do you have access to the Helpdesk?
Kindly ask for the firmware version 03.29.00.rev.1116 it supports the SIMCARD ( Orange network)

Best Regards

Good point. The problem was with my Orange SIM card (2 euros per month with 1 GB of data…). I took out an equivalent plan with Bouygues Telecom and my server is finally receiving information about my vehicle! The GPRS status has changed to Activated :slight_smile:

Now I’m wondering how to see the different OBD parameters (speed, rpm, fuel consumption…) on my Traccar server.

Thanks for your help anyway!


@Maynard : No, I don’t have access to the Helpdesk. But the problem was definitely with my Orange SIM card… It wasn’t a plan dedicated to connected devices, but still. I have a Bouygues SIM card, and it’s finally working now.
