Question

Non function of data only Sim / Non support

As a motorhomer I am always looking for good coverage in Europe. I signed up to what looked like a good deal and actually it is but it’s frustrating that my ID Sim will not work in my Avtex router on a data-only basis and that ID won’t ‘support’ such SIM card issues. I can of course use it as a fallback in my phone and for tethering but the router solution is better. 
has anyone succeeded in getting an ID sim to work in a router?

    Hi ​@Ajcw 

     

    Thanks for reaching out. While iD Mobile SIMs are designed for use in mobile phones, some customers have had success using them in routers, though we don’t officially support this setup.
    If you’d like to try again, we recommend checking your router’s APN settings and ensuring the SIM is activated in a phone first. For more help, feel free to contact us via Facebook or Instagram, Live Chat, Community, or email us at socialqueries@idmobile.co.uk.

    Warm regards,

    It was activated first and it works fine in my phone. Will research APN stuff.
