Hi Mike

Do you still have this ?
Can I take it from you mate ?

Keeping an eye open for the 3 card on offer, but this should keep me going til it comes on offer…
Sure. DM me your address and I'll pop it in the post. Easter gift πŸ‘πŸ»

It was put in the car by the dealer but AFAIK not activated by them. I certainly did nothing with it, other than remove it. It *should* work πŸ™πŸ»
Cheers mate - very generous of you, thanks

Sent you a message πŸ‘πŸ»

I struggled with setting up the supplied sim card for a few hours then gave up and tethered the car to my phone as a wifi hotspot. Works great and I keep the phone on the wireless charger. Apart from the occasional map update (of an extremely poor sat nav system) and live traffic info having the internet in the car doesn't really serve any purpose.

Was away last week, coming back the satnav and live traffic proved very useful informing me of 1 a massive queue at a roundabout ahead and an alternate route, and 2 a massive tailback on the M5 following a crash. I had the supplied Vodafone SIM working till it needed renewing which was very expensive, so now with the 3 24 month SIM, put it in, it worked, no fuss.

Mine came with the Sim installed but not "activated". It took a visit to the Dealer to have Vodafone set up the 12 month trial. I use 3 on my phone but found Vodafone actually gave a better signal the other day when I was trying to do something that needed the web. With the car providing a wi-fi hotspot things went well. This is the opposite of what I had to do without an functioning sim when I ran the car off of a phone hot spot.
The dealer should get you sorted out. Good luck.
