Only problem, I have lost the total data used, but from past experience, I estimate that only around 5.5GB of data has been used.
I could log into the 3 website and input all details of the sim, but I have never run out of data, in the past.

this is a special Data only SIM supplied by volvo only for their cars .. it will lock if fitted in anything else

Are Volvo locking the cars connection to Vodaphone or will it remain unlocked so that you can use other Sim cards such as 3 once the Vodaphone sim runs out.

I'm not sure , perhaps it locks any SIM you put in the car , your dealer will know . However this vodaphone deal is said to be the best in the automotive market . free for the first year ..

Just to confirm guys......those who have the Three sim (that I got today), you register it straight in the car and not via a phone. Is that what we are saying?

Cheers

I have never registered the card, simply installed it and it works.

Of course......you must remember to fit the thing back into the slot the correct way
The sim should be facing downwards when you slot it back in DOH!!!

I'm looking into getting one of these for Traffic Info, Maps etc. Now that it is the right way up (or should I say right way down) does it work without any activation etc?

I hadn't realised, until reading this thread, that my car was fitted with a SIM socket. The 2018 S90 is fitted with a socket isn't it, somewhere in the boot I presume?

Still learning.

Selecting Roaming?
With the 3 Data sim installed in the car holder, is there a menu in Sensus to selected roaming?

I use a dongle with the sim card and with a Huawei HiLink app on my mobile, I have to select roaming. (I also use this app to monitor data usage)
This can be done on the 3 website, but it is a bit of a hassle.

Agree, the card does not need to be registered to work.
