Use in car for live traffic notifications
Hi, I’ve activated my card but the car doesn’t seem to recognise that the card is activated. It does however detect a card is present. Any ideas? Thanks

JulianK_2012610 As JJP2 says, the phone pairs to the car via Bluetooth.
If you have an activated sim in the phone, it should then be available to make and receive calls & texts.
The activated sim should show an allocated mobile number on your account dashboard - that's how you know it is activated.
Hi, it’s data only. Just fit use with the sat nav traffic updates.
JulianK_2012610 Are you saying that you want to insert the sim directly into a slot in the car?
There are many cars that do have a sim in them for emergency call use, but I think that is controlled via the car's system and so you would not be able to insert a sim that did not come from the manufacturer. Apologies if I am misunderstanding you.
Wether you use Android Auto or Apple Car Play, you need to pair your phone to your car, using Bluetooth - If unsure how to do this, consult your manual(s)
Aldo make sure your Smarty SIM is actually activated, by checking your Smarty dashboard, and / or attempting to make a call
