Make sure the device has a working SIM card installed.
Ensure the SIM card has:

Check that your device is configured with:
The correct APN (provided by your SIM carrier).
Server set to data.gpsiot.net
The correct port number (as per device model).
Make sure the device is using TCP as the transmission protocol, not UDP.
Most devices accept SMS commands to return current settings (e.g., APN, server, port).
Use these to confirm if the device is pointing to the correct server and port.
Devices may take a few minutes after power-up to obtain a GPS fix and begin transmitting.
Ensure the device has clear access to the sky for GPS signal.
On our tracking platform, confirm the device IMEI or ID is correctly added.
Check telemetry logs or incoming data if available.
If all settings are correct and the device is still offline:
