Connecting / Activating a SIM Card
When you have a SIM card installed and activated in the
S1 GSM WiFi main panel, then it’s able to send and receive
calls and texts, just as if it were a cellular phone. In that
way, it’s able to notify you even without a WiFi connection.
All new systems will come with a Fortress SIM card and an
activation code, so that you can activate the SIM card and
start the billing whenever you’re ready to begin using it.
(Fortress SIM cards are for US customers only. Please check
our coverage map online to conrm whether you’re within
our coverage area before activating.)
You can activate on our website, here:

Once activated, a phone number will be generated for your
SIM card and emailed to you.
If you elect to use a third-party SIM card, then the phone
number, billing, and support for that SIM card would be
provided by the third-party company, and not covered by
the Fortress Security Store hardware warranty.
