Teltonika RMS Credits: A Clear Guide by MF Communications Ltd
What Are Teltonika RMS Credits?
Teltonika RMS Credits are the flexible, pay-as-you-go way to manage your Teltonika devices on the Remote Management System (RMS). Each credit grants 30 days of RMS Management access per device, allowing configuration, firmware updates, monitoring, and automation via your Teltonika account .
Why Choose Credits?
- Ideal for short-term deployments or trial phases — you only pay for what you use
- Scalable and flexible, credits can be assigned or reassigned as you scale up or down
- Act fast: credits can be converted into data packs or company data whenever needed
How Do Credits Work?
- Assign a credit to a device via the RMS portal to enable monitoring, management, and configuration for 30 days
- New devices come with a 1-month free trial
- If you have, for example, 12 credits, that equates to 12 months of management for one device—or spread over multiple devices for shorter periods
- You can also convert unused credits into company data—each credit equals 2 GB
Alternatives: Management Packs & Data Packs
Management Packs
- Ideal for long-term, stable deployments.
- Activate RMS Management per device for 6 months, 1 year, 3, 5, or even 10 years.
- Once assigned, a pack cannot be transferred to a different device.
Data Options (Company Data & Connection Data Packs)
- Company data is shared across all devices in your RMS company—used for RMS Connect and VPN sessions
- To serve high-traffic remote access needs, a Connection Data Pack (e.g. 150 GB for 10 years on one device) can be assigned. This prioritizes traffic from that device over shared company data

Why MF Communications Recommends the Right Mix
