M2M SIM card with a wide range of features

With the 1NCE M2M SIM’s all-in-one rate, we create a simple plug&play experience with one single payment. The 1NCE Iot Lifetime Flat is a IoT SIM Card Business that provides 500 MB data volume and a capacity of 250 SMS. Both features are valid for a term of up to 10 years. If necessary, you can easily add another 500MB for 10 Dollars using our easy Top Up function. The SMS contingent can be used as Mobile Terminated (MT) or Mobile Originated (MO) SMS for the communication between the IoT device and the Connectivity Management Platform.

With the purchase of a 1NCE M2M SIM you gain access to this platform, which can be used to view the current status of your M2M SIM card and make technical settings at any time. This includes the use of the  REST API, that enables you to integrate the M2M SIM card management into your own systems if required.

By connecting your M2M devices via the 1NCE APN to the cellular network, you obtain a dedicated private IP address from the 1NCE network. If required, you can set up an OpenVPN tunnel and thus establish a secure data channel between the 1NCE network and your own network.

Also the retrieval of real-time data regarding the use of your M2M SIM cards is very easy via the Data Streamer. The data can be transferred just as easily to your customer server or an already installed cloud service.

1NCE OS also helps you to connect your devices to the AWS Cloud, making it quicker and easier for you to use the connectivity of your devices.

From the moment you purchase your first M2M SIM, a professional customer service team is available to answer all your administrative and technical questions. This service is available by phone and in writing.

FAQ

What is an M2M IoT SIM?

An M2M IoT SIM, which stands for Machine-to-Machine Internet of Things Subscriber Identity Module, is a small chip that allows devices to connect to cellular networks. This connectivity lets them exchange data with other devices or systems automatically, without needing any human interaction. It's a SIM card designed specifically for machine communication within the Internet of Things (IoT). 

What is an IoT SIM card?

An IoT SIM card is another name for an M2M SIM card. These terms are used interchangeably. As mentioned earlier, it's a chip that facilitates cellular network connection for devices on the Internet of Things. Unlike the SIM card in your phone, it's built for machine communication. They're optimized for smaller data transmissions compared to phone plans, making them efficient for devices that might just send sensor readings or status updates. 

What is the difference between M2M and normal SIM cards?

M2M SIMs are built tougher to withstand harsher environments, with extreme temperatures and vibrations. Some M2M SIMs offer multi-network connectivity, allowing devices to roam and automatically connect to the best available network. This is useful for devices that move around a lot. M2M IoT SIMs are typically designed for smaller data packets compared to regular SIM cards used for streaming or browsing. M2M SIMs might lack features like voice calls or SMS that you'd find on a regular SIM card. Their focus is purely on data transmission. 

Can I use an M2M SIM in my mobile phone?

Technically, it might work in some cases, but it's not ideal. M2M SIMs are optimized for machine communication and may not have the data plans or features you need for a phone. Additionally, using an M2M SIM in a phone contract might violate the terms of service.
