No, SpotOn uses GPS to contain your dog. GPS is available anywhere you can see the sky, and it’s free. Unlike your phone, SpotOn Fence can access GPS without a cellular connection. Just like your old Garmin® navigation system for your car!
With SpotOn Fence, you do not need a cellular subscription to create, manage and activate fences or contain your dog.
With an optional cellular subscription, you can unlock some additional features. Cellular enables the SpotOn Fence to communicate with your phone over long distances. With cellular, you can:
- See your dog's location anytime, which is helpful if your fence is large.
- Receive notifications if your collar battery is low or your dog escapes.
- Track your dog if he escapes.
You purchase a cellular subscription for your SpotOn Fence through us. It is not part of your phone bill. We offer several plans. The annual or semi-annual plans are discounted and come with a 90-day free trial so you can see if cellular works for you.

This is billed by SpotOn and is not part of your smartphone cellular plan. In addition, it does not matter which carrier you use for your own phone. As long as both your phone and the SpotOn collar are cellular enabled they can communicate with one another. Just like you can call your friend who has Verizon service even though you have T-Mobile.
We offer monthly, annual, and bi-annual subscription. If you opt in to the annual or bi-annual subscriptions, you will receive a 90-day free trial so you can decide if it works for you. Plans start at $5.95 a month.
