No. Your FitBark GPS uses an embedded sim card to send real-time location updates to our server, and to the FitBark app. This sim card (and hence your FitBark subscription) is entirely independent of the service plan you already have for your mobile phone.

You cannot use your mobile carrier’s data plan since this may only be available when your phone is next to the FitBark GPS.
