SIM card profile 1

This profile works with a minimum of 2 providers per country; a third is certainly possible if desired. Connectivity includes Data, SMS, and Voice. There is an option to use a public fixed IP address.

SIM card profile 2

This profile is from Vodafone Netherlands and acts as a backup SIM card by default. If profile 1 is lost due to a malfunction (assuming a malfunction of the SIM card provider, causing the connectivity of KPN, Vodafone and Odido to be switched off or even completely lost), we will automatically or manually switch to a completely different profile from Vodafone (this profile (2) operates on a different server than profile 1 and they are unrelated). As a result, the chance of you having no connectivity is very rare!

Multi-Network SIM Card: Always Connected, Always Reliable

Our SIM cards are connected by default to the three largest network providers in the Netherlands: KPN, Vodafone, and T-Mobile/Odido. This guarantees a strong, stable connection via one of these leading networks. In the exceptional event of a server failure, the SIM card automatically switches to a backup profile on the servers and network of Vodafone Netherlands. This unique switching system offers an unparalleled level of reliability and operational security.
