Network & SIM set up
Any sim provider that uses the Telstra network. Belong, Aldi and Woolworths Mobile are all viable options.
Start by removing the section on the back of the watch marked ‘SIM’ by lifting it off at the point marked by the small arrow. Make sure you place the watch on a towel or soft surface, as the screen can get scratched when face-down on a hard surface.
Once you have removed the SIM cover gently slide the silver SIM cover you until you hear a ‘click’ sound, and then flip open (see image below of watch with SIM inserted). Place your new SIM in with the gold chip side facing down. Flip the cover back over the SIM card and slide it back the opposite way to close until you hear another ‘click’. Replace the back of the watch and push until it clicks in.

Access Point Name (APN) is an authentication setting that allows your device to connect to your SIM providers network. If you are using the provided SIM with a Full Service Plan subscription, you do not need to worry about getting an APN as it is already setup for you. If you are considering using a BYO SIM Service Plan then you will need your network providers APN to setting up a watch with their SIM.
Different network providers have different APN’s and if your network provider has not provided the APN in the paperwork, you will need find your SIM provider’s APN. Here is a list of some providers who use the Telstra network and their APN’s (as at 8-10-2020).
- ALDI Mobile – mdata.net.au
- Belong – mdata.net.au
- Boost Mobile – telstra.wap
- Lycamobile – data.lycamobile.com.au
- TeleChoice – mdata.net.au
- Woolworths Mobile – mdata.net.au

Features, Warranty & Returns
The TicTocTrack watch screen is made with Corning glass, which is a toughened glass made to withstand normal use. This glass can crack or break when it makes forcible contact with a hard surface or object. The glass on our watches is similar to that used on the iPhone, and unfortunately, shatterproof glass is currently too expensive to be a viable option, though we hope this will change in the future. The TicTocTrack watch is being used by thousands of people across Australia, and we have found that the screen will only crack if subjected to forcible impact.
If you do happen to crack the screen of your TicTocTrack watch, we offer a discounted replacement watch, so please contact us at enquiries@tictoctrack.com.au or 1300 TRACK ME (872 256).
The circumference of the band is approximately 24cm at is largest, and 14cm at its smallest.
