Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for configuring telematics behavior. The system includes a machine. The machine includes at least one communication module for communication to and from the machine over a network. The machine also includes a memory. The machine further includes a processor configured to receive a telematics behavior configuration file associated with a subscription number, the telematics behavior configuration file comprising at least a file transfer rule for communication over the network. The processor is also configured to store the telematics behavior configuration file in the memory. The processor is further configured to determine whether the network is available and, in response to a determination that the network is available, transfer and receive data over the network according to the telematics behavior configuration file.
