Your questions answered
What is IoT?
IoT is an acronym for the Internet of Things, it’s what we call the collective network of connected devices which are linked to each other and the cloud through technology.
For you and your business it is the SIM card that you use in those devices to keep the connected.
What's the difference between IoT and M2M?
The terms are pretty interchangeable, being specific, Machine to Machine refers to the point-to-point, the actual devices which are connected rather than IoT which refers to the internet extending to machines and devices and vice-versa.
What is the physical difference between an IoT SIM and a regular SIM?
IoT SIMs have a better build quality, they are made of more resistant materials, this is important as these SIMs are used within devices for a long period of time, they can also be exposed to the elements through travel.
What is Multi-Network and why does it matter?
Multi-Network IoT SIMs can roam onto more than one network, so if a signal becomes weak on one network, the SIM will automatically swap to a stronger signal. This means that you will always have the best coverage available. Our multi-network SIMs roam onto all UK major mobile networks, keeping you connected.
Can I retain my current numbers?
IoT SIMs are different from mobile SIMs. If you need to have a device connected then you’ll need a new IoT SIM and a new number to go with it. Transferring between the two isn’t possible.
How do I move my IoT sims over to you?
Unlike with Mobile Phones you can’t get a PAC code and swap to a new supplier. Instead we will issue you with a new SIM and get you connected.
Why are your IoT SIMs cheaper when compared to my current provider?
It’s possible that you’re device is on an older legacy tariff, or it could just be that we come in cheaper. One of the main benefits of moving your IoT SIMs to us is that you’ll have it all under one roof.
Do your SIMs come with static I.P. addresses?
Yes, at MCL our IoT SIMs come with Static I.P. Public and Private addresses depending on your requirements. If you don’t know what you need then we can steer you to the right choice.
How does the data allowance work?
At MCL we suggest for our customers to get a pooled data option on their IoT SIMs. It works hugely in your businesses favour as you can share a data bundle across devices, giving you the best value for money.
