IoT SIM Testing with Stacuity

On 21-22 October 2023 we have TADHack Global. Stacuity is a global sponsor. One of the many sponsor benefits of TADHack is being able to test your SIMs globally. I received a couple of Stacuity SIMs for testing on the US networks, as well as some stickers! I found my SIM tray pin thingy, as unfolded paper clips or drawing pins never work reliably. Pictures below follow this explanation.

I started on my OnePlus 6, which was released in May 2018. Amazing the phone is nearly 5 years old and still going strong. I activated the first SIM, checked to see which networks were available, and reported back to Stacuity the first SIM was active. The 313100 network is the AT&T First Responders Network.

We then cycled through the mobile networks checking not just connectivity but also roaming data worked and at what throughput using SPEEDTEST. We have lots of countries involved with TADHack this year, it’s going to be great for Stacuity to test out their SIMs around the world.

Found the SIM tray pin tool, last time I used it was 2+ years ago, managed to remember where I’d left it.

First time I’d used the dual SIM function. Once upon a time I really wanted such a capability,
