Truma iNet cheapest sim?

[Pablo19]

I know this has been covered before but the threads I've found are out of date as the remommended option used to be an Asda sim on PAYG. The cheapest Asda sim I can find now is £4 per month for unlimited texts and no data which kind of fits the bill but before I choose that option I was wondering if there are any "traditional" PAYG SIMs still available when you can just top up £10 and the data doesn't expire? The specific M2M sims that are designed for the purpose are unfortunately only available for business users so I can't go down that route. Seems a shame not to use the iNet, especially after I drained my leisure battery recently and was unaware. TIA

O2 classic SIM texts cost 2p credit lasts until it runs out. Just need a paying call or text once every six months to keep it alive.

I don't think it's available anymore and even if it was I would pass due to having no O2 signal at home! I think there are some ongoing deals that work out a little cheaper but not open to anyone new.

The new iNet X is a backward step with no remote access. Yes the Bluetooth control is easier when in range but without remote control and information the new system is of no interest or use to me.

The remote system is being tested now apparently. Truma will not release it until it's perfect.

The way the existing iNet system remote messages works is very shonky. If you request status or change settings, you press the button and your text message application pops up with a premade message, which you then send. Then you receive a text back. So all the communications are outside the app.

GPRS data comms have been around for about 15 years. That would have been far better as it would have worked directly from the app as seamlessly as Bluetooth. But then Truma would have to run a server... which they clearly didn't want to do.

Truma iNet does not need data, all done by text messages (or bluetooth if within range). The only requirement for the sim card is good old text messages. This rules out any sim cards operating on the Three network because it has dropped 2G signals.

The new Truma iNet X system is I believe different and might need a data card.

Thought I was missing something there cheers....yep just send text telling it to crank the heating up half hr before you get back from the pub....then forget to lower the stat

Interesting but since the new iNet X system does not appear to have a slot for a sim card or some other form of communication it seems likely that this eventual remote control will be costly. It will either need a replacement iNet X controller or an additional box. I will happily live with the clunky existing Truma iNet until Truma launch something that is progress and not a backward step.

Needs to be topped up every 90 days.

When I had a recent Chat with them I was told that the Penny Pro option does not need to be topped up?

Yes your correct just reread the t&c needs a chargeable event every 90 days.

When I had a recent Chat with them I was told that the Penny Pro option does not need to be topped up?

I asked about the Penny Pro option and this is what they replied with

"For Penny Pro, its a tariff for 30 days . You need to renew it after every 30 days , Also if you activate penny pro and run out of credit lets say in 10 or 15 days, you need to activate penny pro after you top up again."

The other option is what I will be doing, just ordering a sim and put £2.50 credit on and it then with this option they told me

"The credit never expires. You need to top up at least once in 90 days to keep the SIM card active."
