sim card

Hi all
done over 2k in my new range rover and its magical, runs like a dream and the 4.4 engine is a little throaty but pulls like a train!
Any way, went to change the sim card and the new one wont stay in the slot, you push it in and its springy but wont stay in, any advice as to what i am doing wrong would be welcome.

Nigel

Normally you have to push it in a little beyond the spring resistance of the slot to engage the catch, but it always struck me as being a little bit flimsy, which I noted when I inserted mine.

I had this issue but for me it was the wrong way round
Or maybe it was the fact u had to actually buy one and fit yourself
Very Happy

I had a similar issue with inserting the card and finally went in, in my opion the wrong way around, but I think I had to do something with the setting ( think I used the small leaflet with the handbook ), also may need to swop the metal connector the other way around, try the new card first, hope this helps

Had an issue getting the right size of SIM card, but once received it did work from the off. Is the feature switched on within Incontrol? Paul

Put the sim in a phone or tablet to prove it works on data . My Vodafone data only sim needed this before it worked in the car.
