Hi all,

TomTom Traffic is not working anymore in my GO 5200 device.
System info states "You have a TomTom traffic subscription".
But GPRS status is disconnected and gets not connected no matter how long I wait.

Can anybody please help recover the Traffic service?

    Factory reset the device.

    Procedure to do if your Go is no longer under warranty.

    Some users take out the SIM card which is under the label, wipe it gently then reinsert it

    What label? How can I take out the SIM card? Is there any video or picture showing the process?

    Hi @tmrafa

    On the bottom of the GO5200 is the serial number label next to the extra memory slot. If you, at your own risk, very very carefully remove it so that you can replace it afterwards you will see the Mobile Sim under it. You can carefully pull the sim out with fine tweezers making sure to avoid static electric. If you push the sim in and out a few times this can help clean the contacts inside the unit. It may also help to clean the sim contacts with a clean pencil rubber. Make sue to cover the sim in its slot with the label after you have restored it to the device

    Hi @DougLap

    I have followed your recommendations (cleaning the sim with a pencil rubber and pushing the sim in and out a few times). But unfortunately it didn't work for me.

    Tomtom Traffic is still out of service for me :/

    Best regards

    You will need to contact customer service, they will see if your Sim card is still activated.

    Hi @tmrafa

    Have a look back here later to see what @VikramK has to say after he has checked your units settings on the TT servers. There may be an issue he can resolve.

    Hello @Willy875 and @DougLap

    I am a little bit confused

    Is VikramK going to contact me?
    Should I contact customer service as Willy875 advised?

    Best regards

    You can do both

    contact customer service and wait for the moderator to verify your account.

    Hi @tmrafa
    The services for your GO 5200 look okay. It's best to get in touch with our customer service team to review the SIM status and see what they have to advise further.

    Regards,
    Vikram.
