Data SIM card - new deal
Currently use a "Three" network data sim in the car - mainly for Spotify, plus the RTTI.
It's due to run out very soon (12GB) so was wondering what other options and pricing is available. Does it have to be a pure DATA sim or can a combination SIM work with data allowance on it? Guess the best way to try is to put my phone SIM in the car. Some useful info here: https://www.tigermobiles.com/blog/preloaded-data-sim/

Smarty which is a three company 30gb for £10 a month, working no problem on XC90, also no contract pay up front every month cancel when you like. Don’t matter if the sim has voice on as long as it has data. There’s cheaper stuff out there depending on your data requirements. 30gb is over kill!

Have a look at this. Here's a link:
https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3342985 You might be able to buy it cheaper and get it quicker too, on Amazon. I believe others on here have also bought this for their cars and are extremely satisfied with it. I believe you can also check your data usage on the card by going online.

And I do believe your Volvo Dealer might be able to set you up with a 100GB Data SIM card.
I'm not sure what the deal is but all new Volvos are fitted up with one of these from new. See: https://www.am-online.com/news/manuf...a-in-every-car "....The standard-fit SIM card initiative will be rolled-out across the Volvo franchised network on all Model Year 2020 cars, buts can also be retro-fitted to any that have already been delivered to customers. The SIM card allows the driver and their passengers to be fully connected at all times, with access to 100GB of data for up to one year. Volvo said this is the “longest and most generous” Vodafone plan currently offered by a car maker in the UK...." Last edited by Begonia; Jun 11th, 2020 at 12:18. |

I’m on my second 24gb 3 sim that lasts 2 years. Bought it from Amazon for about £33 last October when the price dropped. Kept it in stock until January when the other expired. Just need to keep your eyes on the prices as they do vary considerably

Any links to sims on ebay? And besides the above used, how much data does the rest of you use, during a year? Got a brand new XC90 a few months back, but are still looking after a simcard, but I'm in doubt how much data is needed on a monthly/yearly basis....

I don’t use Spotify or any music app. Do download maps, and traffic info. Use CarPlay with my phone on the vehicle Wi-fi, as I like to use Waze. Used about 12Gb in 2 years.
