Navigate to your settings (gear icon) in the top right corner of your Housecall Pro homepage.

In your settings, go to 'Billing' on the left-hand side of the navigation menu.

Once in Billing, click the blue CHANGE PLAN button.

Click the blue NEXT button in the bottom right corner to advance to the next page.

Adjust the number of devices next to Vehicle Tracking under the Add-ons list. Then click the blue NEXT button in the bottom right-hand corner.

After you have adjusted the number of devices and clicked NEXT, click the blue UPDATE PLAN button in the bottom corner to confirm.

Returning your Vehicle GPS because you upgraded to Dashcams

The other reason you may be returning devices is that you are replacing your Vehicle GPS Tracking devices with Dashcams. When you upgrade to Dashcams, the expectation is you will send back your Vehicle GPS devices that you are replacing.

Please Note: If you are returning your Vehicle GPS Tracking devices because you are upgrading to Dashcams, the return shipping label will be included in your

Dashcams box.
