Question about Digitec iot Data Flat

3-4 questions before investment on some unclear points that might interest many; - Once the term is up (30 days or 365 days), is the SIM card automatically renewed and billed to my Digitec account, or do I have to change it? I can't see myself going to change the SIM on my masthead every month, or even every year. - Can the payment be made on invoice or does it have to be made in advance? - Normally an ID card is required, but the SIM card can be registered under a company name and rather than a personal ID card, would a trade register extract suffice? - I have a lot of customers who are underserved by the wireline network (copper/coax/fibre) and I plan to switch to 4G/5G with directional mast antennas. I've done some trials with Lebara/Yallo/Salt/Swisscom but the problem is billing the end customer. With this system, I could take everything under control and the customer would not have to do anything himself? - If I read correctly, the operator is Sunrise, but what is the APN? Is it Sunrise or is it Digitec? In my experience, when the antenna network is overloaded, the "sub-operator" APNs are not given priority and have their speed throttled or worse, switched to 3G. Again, from experience, the 300mbps Lebara never offers this speed, even with a directional LTE Cat.18 antenna pointed at the Sunrise mast... - The mobile network in Switzerland is a mess compared to European operators. No IPv6. NAT444 galore (CGNAT). It is extremely complicated to use it for VoIP or to host services that need to be accessible from outside the connected site without VPN tinkering. Can this operator provide fixed or non-CGNAT IPv4 addresses (public addresses)?

Helpful answer

I answer to myself for others;

1) Payment is automatic or manual. Your choice. You have to register a credit card, PostFinance (does that still exist?) or a TWINT account.

2) No payment by invoice except for ordering the SIM card itself from Digitec.

3) Only valid identity card/passport + selfie with mobile phone to validate identity when activating the SIM.

4) Yes, you are billed - you are free to bill the end customer.

5) The APN is "DR". It is a sub-operator. It is subject to the same antenna load priorities as Lebara/Yallo. In Payerne, on Thursday 18 August at around 8 pm, in a clear area near a Sunrise mast, a SpeedTest on a server in Lausanne with a PC directly connected to the router (MikroTik LTE LHG Cat. 18, directed antenna) offers 45-50Mbps. Much less than the theoretical speed of 300Mbps. The SIM is theoretically 5G compatible but my test router is not.

6) No IPv6. No public IPv4; this is CGNAT. Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel incompatible because protocol 41 blocked.
