There is a huge difference between these two subscriptions. With the connect subscription you only have 3 GB of data per month, with the iot Daten Flat you have unlimited data capacity. Conclusion: If you have little traffic, take the cheaper one (action), if you have a lot of traffic, then take the iot Daten Flat.
To answer your second question, regarding the phone number. You simply need two SIM slots in the mobile phone (dual sim). One sim card from your normal provider, e.g. swisscom. And the second sim from digitec. With android, you can then set sim 1 (main sim card) to be responsible for calls and sms and sim 2 (digitec sim) for mobile data. The internet then runs via sim 2, i.e. digitec.
Hello ElionM I used the card with a TP-Link Archer MR600 4G+ Dual Band Gigabit router. I used the Internet for a construction site in an absolute "nightmare hole" in central Switzerland and was very satisfied. During the day, most people had logged in to use the shared printer, and in the evening you could still stream easily. The card is now inactive at my place, but with the router well supplied to use the "team" again at any time. Unfortunately, I never did a speed test. Best wishes and good luck
There is a ticket system in the customer portal and the option to contact them by phone from 8am to 6pm. However, I have never tried this.
You can find the ticket system after logging in via the help link at the bottom of the page. Telephone if you look in Frequently asked questions.
Yes, as a rule, you can also use the card in a router. The subscription runs on the Sunrise 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G network and is also described by Digitec for LTE and 5G routers. Please note, however: This subscription only offers 0.4 Mbit/s. For router use, this is usually only suitable for very simple applications, not for normal browsing or streaming.
Yes, it will likely fit, provided the router supports a nano-SIM and runs on the Sunrise network. The TP-Link M8550 has a nano-SIM slot and supports 3G, 4G, and 5G; furthermore, this SIM uses the Sunrise network. The difference compared to the Digitec IoT test SIM card cannot be clearly verified here; the available information shows the same plan for both, with 30 days, unlimited data, and 10 Mbit/s. The information is insufficient to confirm a definitive difference.
Yes, for a Bambu Lab P1S as an IoT connection (app control, status, print jobs), the 0.4 Mbit/s variant is sufficient. Only if you frequently want to use the camera live would I recommend a faster variant.
No, the SIM card can only be used in Switzerland as standard. Roaming in Europe can be booked as an affordable upgrade (e.g. 10 GB for 50 francs) via the customer portal.
No, you cannot send or receive text messages with this Data Flat rate plan. The SIM card is primarily designed for data connections and does not technically support outgoing text messages or phone calls.
