It is your responsibility to keep any user identification or passwords issued to you in order to access our website or other services (“Login Credentials”) safe and secure and not to disclose them to any other person, unless you want to give such a person the authority to act on your behalf. You are solely responsible for any actions taken using your Login Credentials. You must only provide your Login Credentials when logging into our website or through other automated means. For security reasons, our service representatives will never ask you for your password, and you must not disclose Login Credentials to anyone asking for it. When speaking with our representatives, they will follow other verification procedures to validate your identity.
For the safety, security, and integrity of your data, users who have not logged in to MyAdmin for more than 90 days are considered inactive and will have their accounts disabled.
To protect against unauthorized activity, accounts with 21 consecutive failed login attempts within a short period of time will be locked. After 10 minutes, you may attempt to log in again or change your password. Contact us to manually unlock your account.
If you believe the security of your Login Credentials has been compromised, or you suspect unauthorized use, you must notify us immediately. You will be responsible for all changes to your account, communications, use of services, orders, transactions and charges, which are made using your Login Credentials, whether by you or anyone else, until you notify us.
Once you notify us, we will suspend your account and will make arrangements for continued use of our platform or services. If we suspect, in our reasonable opinion, fraudulent or unauthorized activity on your account, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our platform or services and any related services and will use reasonable efforts to contact you to resolve the matter.

✱ NOTE: For security purposes, MyAdmin will lock you out for 10 minutes if you enter the incorrect password five times within 15 minutes.

✱ NOTE: Overnight shipping is not available.
The indicated cost of shipping is one charge per order, regardless of the quantity and number of shipments. This charge includes picking, packing, shipping, and any applicable customs charges.

✱ NOTE: Only one primary database can be associated with any device.
✱ NOTE: Although devices can share the same brand and model, no two identifiers are the same. Without the identifiers, devices cannot connect to a network and, in the event of a lost or stolen unit, service providers often block the IMEI and MEID first. Whether a device uses IMEI or MEID depends on the type of wireless technology supported by the carrier.

Geotab offers various Rate Plans at different price points and levels of functionality. Devices ship from Geotab in an activation-ready state. Once the device is installed and powered on, the device automatically activates on the carrier’s network, and the device is billed based on the Rate Plan selected during the checkout process. For more information about Rate Plans, refer to Rate Plan Feature Comparison and Geotab Partner Policies.
Geotab offers the following Rate Plans:
All plans provide limited lifetime warranty for GO devices. For more information about the limited lifetime device warranty, refer to Providing Limited Lifetime Device Warranty.
✱ NOTE: Devices on the Base Rate Plan only record GPS data. Downgrading to the Base Rate Plan disables the ability to record engine and accelerometer due to a change in firmware. Billing is automatically updated according to the Rate Plan.
! IMPORTANT: Moving a device to Suspend mode erases the device memory, and immediately puts the device into a suspended state — preventing the device from logging new data. It may take several hours or days to reactivate. A device in Suspend mode only connects to the server every 23 hours. If the device is out of cellular range, reconnection delays may be long and no data is transmitted during this time except for a heartbeat.
✱ NOTE: For devices in Suspend mode or Terminate mode (during the first 30 days), a monthly charge is applied to the account to keep the SIM active and maintain the database. After 30 days, devices in Terminate mode cannot be reactivated. The cost of reactivating a terminated device is $25.00 USD.
The Device Management page (Devices > Device Management) is a single point of access for all device administration-related tasks, including managing device information, registering third-party devices, viewing device installation history, and more.
Rate Plans are automatically assigned to non-GO devices at checkout, so you only need to manage Rate Plans for GO devices.
To change or terminate the Rate Plan for a device, follow these steps:
The table displays search results in real-time.
The page refreshes to display detailed information about the device.
Your request to change this device’s Rate Plan is now being processed.

Terminated devices can be reactivated within 30 days of termination, and can only be terminated and reactivated once a month. After 30 days, devices cannot be reactivated.
To reactivate a device, follow these steps:
✱ NOTE: In the classic interface, navigate to Store from the main menu.
✱ NOTE: The XXX-REACTIVATE product is $25.00 USD per device (plus applicable taxes).
✱ NOTE: Ensure the number of serial numbers matches the quantity of XXX-REACTIVATE products in the order.
! IMPORTANT: When submitting a Helpdesk ticket, please include the order number for a prompt reactivation.
The devices will be reactivated, and the Partner will receive an invoice for the order. Swapping a SIM card will not reactivate the device, and the warranty period is not affected by reactivation.
Once a day, MyAdmin users that have enabled notifications will receive an email regarding the activations and Rate Plan changes for the day. For more information about email notifications, refer to Emails by MyAdmin.

The Beta Firmware Program aims to provide a simple and effective method for Customers to update to the latest beta firmware versions and test new firmware features and fixes. Through this program, you can subscribe devices to specific channels to test upcoming features and Beta functionality. The devices automatically update to the latest stable release version of the firmware on the subscribed channel, and each beta firmware cycle runs for approximately two months.

Data Sharing is a secured data sharing technology that allows users to connect and collaborate with trusted business partners by sharing their telematics data to other MyGeotab users. For example, with Data Sharing, users can share safety and performance-driven data to insurance providers to save on coverage, or engine diagnostic data with maintenance providers to save on repairs.
Data Sharing starts with a transaction between two MyGeotab users: a user from the Primary Database who makes a request to shared telematics services to a user from a Shared Database who accepts or rejects the request based on the needs of their business. For more detailed information, refer to the Data Sharing Partner Guide.
