Just purchased an approved used and there's no sim in the slot (in the arm rest). Should the car have a SIM associated with it, and therefore be included in the purchase?

Any advice is appreciated !

be handy to have what car you got? 2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - Current
2014 Navara V6 - Gone
2004 Vogue TD6 - Gone
Grand Cherokee - Gone
Discovery V8 (LPG) - Gone
Discovery TD5 - Gone

its a 2017 according to his car profile..


i dont think the sim comes with the purchase...you would have to buy a data sime of ebay or amazon ; ... - .- -.

You have to buy your own sim, even on a brand new car IIRC

Yes, apologies: 67 plate. Okay so it seems I have to buy a Sim and the dealer didn't hold one back then ?

Is there a Sim that people go for? - as in a general consensus on a good one / good deal ?

Edit to add. Just bought this... should be good? 24gb and two years:

Thanks!

I saw that one but I then found out that the coverage for that network is no good around where I live whereas Vodafone is very good and I think that the Vodafone Sim that I linked to is basically the same deal!??? But reduced to £36 for the Vodafone one.

Edit to add: meant to quote Chalky!

Edit to add again, that the link I put up doesn't seem to work. See picture attached:

I've bought a Voda sim and put it in mine and the car wont read it. Still haven't gotten to the bottom of why, but just saying it may not turn out as simple as you'd expect. Mike - MPx

The 3 card works fine. Is the Voda one a data only card? All LR cars from 1984

Damn really

Are you able to return it? Was it the same as the one I bought?? Link:

Yeah, I think its the same sim. I've not tried to return it as it obviously should work and is recognised in a phone. My next move is to get LR to take a look under warranty, but that's not as easy as it should be in lockdown. If you do a search on here you'll see that many have had issues getting their sims to work and some are that the reader is flakey. But may be something else. Mike - MPx
