Due to a loathing for Vodaphone built up over years, the first thing I did was take their card out and put in the 3 one I got on a deal. The came up and no "set up" required. I've still got the Voda one and an happy to post it to anyone FOC.
Hi Mike
Do you still have this ?
Can I take it from you mate ?
Keeping an eye open for the 3 card on offer, but this should keep me going til it comes on offerβ¦
Sure. DM me your address and I'll pop it in the post. Easter gift
It was put in the car by the dealer but AFAIK not activated by them. I certainly did nothing with it, other than remove it. It *should* work
I struggled with setting up the supplied sim card for a few hours then gave up and tethered the car to my phone as a wifi hotspot. Works great and I keep the phone on the wireless charger. Apart from the occasional map update (of an extremely poor sat nav system) and live traffic info having the internet in the car doesn't really serve any purpose.

You forgot to add βto meβ at the end of your comment
Volvo XC40 T5 R-Drive Pro. Thunder Grey with lots of extras
Was away last week, coming back the satnav and live traffic proved very useful informing me of 1 a massive queue at a roundabout ahead and an alternate route, and 2 a massive tailback on the M5 following a crash. I had the supplied Vodafone SIM working till it needed renewing which was very expensive, so now with the 3 24 month SIM, put it in, it worked, no fuss.
B4 AWD Inscription , Fusion Red, Blond interior. Drivers Assist, Climate, Tinted rear windows and Towing pack.
Ordered 14 Dec 20, delivered 10 March 21
Mine came with the Sim installed but not "activated". It took a visit to the Dealer to have Vodafone set up the 12 month trial. I use 3 on my phone but found Vodafone actually gave a better signal the other day when I was trying to do something that needed the web. With the car providing a wi-fi hotspot things went well. This is the opposite of what I had to do without an functioning sim when I ran the car off of a phone hot spot.
The dealer should get you sorted out. Good luck.
