2.2.10.1.  Purchasing a SIM Card w/ plan 
 
Cellular service is not included and is the user’s responsibility to purchase and activate. 
o  Choose a GSM/GPRS Cellular service provider 
o  Call or visit the carrier’s website to purchase a SIM Card and activate a new line 
of service with data plan 
o  Choose a data plan that suits your needs 
 
A SIM card must comply with the three basic requirements to function properly: 
1.  GSM SIM card (not UMTS) 
2.  Data service only 
3.  NO IMEI number (no associated handset) 
 
To ease the configuration with data collection software it is advised to disable the PIN 
code. 
Disabling the PIN code is not the same as clearing the values of the PIN code. 
The  easiest  way  to  disable  a  PIN  code  is  to  insert  the  SIM  card  in  a  telephone  and 
disabling the PIN code in the security settings menu
