Has anyone picked a SIM yet to install?

I was looking at this one...

12 gig should go a long way?

I used the "3" SIM in my A6 Hybrid, was not 12gb back then (3gb) but its lasted 9 months easily unitil I changed the car and used Google maps overlay every day.

Just bought one. All works great

Forgive my ignorance but what do I need a sim for???

 

[YVR_Pacer]

For all the internet connectivity features... satellite maps, apps, ETA sharing, connected search, etc. There are ways around this, if you use your phone as a wifi hotspot and connect the car to it, but this is a little more fiddly that just using a sim permanent;y installed in the car.

What size SIM do we need?

 

[SonicPace]

Micro sim

A nice touch by the way is under the settings for the SIM card it shows you how much data you've used.

So far I've used 30mb, so it doesn't seem to eat the data if you're sensible.

Certain features like the phone app worked prior to installing app ...we could open doors etc from phone :shock: is there one all ready in the car some where . :?: ..

 

[SonicPace]

Yes, that's used for the SOS (jaguar assist / emergency services) - plus some of the control features.

 

[Waynem]

Thought so....they could of worked some sort of data rate into the service plan and used the same sim for everything

 

[SonicPace]

I am guessing, but I think the inbuilt SIM will be a clever one that bridges multiple networks to ensure there is a data network always available - perhaps this is something they couldn't easily pass on to Joe Public.

For us, we just pick the SIM that works the best in our area, so far so good with the Three SIM.

I used a sim connected to my business contract ...it means the phone it is in is insured ....they'll have a shock when they find out its in an f-pace if I crash :lol:

This might help someone?

Seems cheap.

I've just ordered the 12gb '3 Network' pre loaded for 12 months at £30 from Amazon that someone on the forum kindly highlighted

Hello folks,

So, reading this thread, I feel like I have just beamed in from the world of Windows 98. Can someone be kind enough just to explain why I need a SIM card, how much it'll cost and what functionality I will get? My current order specification is for the F-Pace S but I have decided not to upgrade from the standard In Control Touch to the wide screen version, if that's relevant.

In particular, I am hoping that the inbuilt SatNav will have 'real time traffic information' and offer rerouting suggestions both here in the UK & in Europe. Do I need a SIM card installed for that functionality too?

Any simple explanation is appreciated. My current 2014 XC60 doesn't have a SIM card.

Thanks,

Arianne

You can get the same 12gb sim as the Amazon one cheaper here:
