Sim Card

Waggatron · Jun 3rd, 2018, 17:43

Can anyone advise on sim cards for the XC60.

The Volvo website says the car takes a mini sim....yet I thought sims came in standard, micro and nano varieties.....can anyone confirm which it is that fits.

Any advice on data usage for "normal" use (real time traffic updates, streaming radio etc etc). I'd have thought 2gb/month would be ample?

thanks in advance...

Mini sim is the "biggest" sim card size you can buy in the market.

Check eBay for 12gb for 12 months data for 24 quid or less...

These fit and are a good buy for 24gb and you get 24 months to use the data, take care if you buy a data sim as some have to be used in 30 days and you lose any unused data.

Mymemory have reduced price offers on 3 data sims now and then but they are around £28 for 12gb at the moment, they last 12 months.

When you have used the data throw the sim away and buy a new one its a lot cheaper than topping them up from 3 network.

And don't worry too much about the size. All SIM cards i've seen advertised these days (And the last 2 or 3 that I've got with phone contracts), come as "Multi-SIMs", which include little adapters that fit round the SIM to make it fit a nano, micro or mini slot. I'm sure 3's SIM will be no different.

I've just got the Three SIM (24GB for £45), and it does indeed come in the adaptable size.
