Mobile Tracking

Track Vehicle Using the Driver’s Mobile Number

In transport operations, knowing where a vehicle is at every stage of a trip is important. However, relying only on GPS is not always practical in real working conditions.

Many vehicles:

  • Do not have a GPS installed
  • Have a GPS that stops working due to network or power issues
  • Are hired or market vehicles
  • They are used for short-term or one-time trips

Saral Check’s mobile number–based tracking helps in such situations by enabling vehicle movement visibility using the driver’s registered mobile number. It works without any GPS device or additional setup, making it a practical tracking option when GPS is unavailable.

What is mobile tracking?

Mobile tracking is a way to track a vehicle using the driver’s mobile phone and nearby mobile network towers, instead of a GPS device.

With Saral Check Mobile Tracking, you enter the driver’s mobile number to start tracking the trip.
The driver’s phone connects to the nearest mobile towers, and location updates are shared based on network signals.

This information is then shown on the SaralCheck app, giving you visibility of the trip.

Mobile tracking is useful when:

  • GPS is not installed
  • GPS is not working
  • The vehicle is hired or temporary
  • You want a simple and low-cost tracking option

It works well for all types of vehicles and suits Indian transport conditions, where network coverage is often more reliable than GPS hardware.

How Mobile Tracking Works

Mobile tracking works using mobile network signals and nearby mobile towers.

Here is how the process works:

  • The driver’s smartphone connects to the nearest mobile tower
  • Location is identified based on network signal availability
  • Saral Check securely receives these location updates
  • Vehicle movement is shown on the Saral Check app
  • You can see movement, route direction, and stoppages

This method does not require GPS satellites or tracking devices.
As long as the driver’s phone has mobile network coverage, tracking continues.

This makes mobile tracking useful even in:

  • Hired vehicles
  • Rural or mixed routes
  • Temporary transport arrangements
