Other Considerations for SIM Cards
1. Carrier Limitations
Please choose a SIM card without carrier limitations to ensure seamless connectivity.
2. Contract Cards
Avoid using contract SIM cards, as these often come with restrictions that may prevent the card from being used with certain devices, including your Reolink camera.
3. Device Compatibility
Choose a SIM card that is not limited to a specific device, ensuring it can be used in other devices, such as your mobile phone.
Note: If your Reolink 4G camera package includes a Reolink SIM card, you can simply use the SIM card to connect your camera to the network without using the sim card from other brands. To activate the SIM card, you need to link the Reolink SIM card to your Reolink account and purchase a data plan.
