Vanolarm - Van alarm Security Systems

Do I need a sim card to operate a Vanolarm van alarm system?

The answer ‘NO’ would be the simple answer to this question. If you chose to protect your vehicle simply using Vanolarms Audible alarm units, there is no need for a sim card. However Vanolarm has ultimately been designed to be one of the comprehensive smart van alarm systems in the market.

As such the GSM/GPS tracking and alarm reporting utility of Vanolarm requires the need for a sim card in order to protect your vehicle to the highest degree possible. If you chose to purchase a sim card with your Vanolarm unit then you receive an 1p Mobile EE sim card pre-loaded with £10 of data, text and voice calls, which needs updating every 120 days. With average use the 1p mobile sim card lasts the user the 120 days prior to the next £10 top up requirement (1p per min call, 1p per SMS/Test, 1p per MB data).

The above said, any sim card can be inserted into the smart GSM unit allowing you, should you have EE connection problems in your area etc, to choose a more cost effective method to suit your needs.
