What can you really do with the MoviStar Sim account?
hello,
have had arduino gsm shield awhile , i'm @ point i'm ready start testing proof of concept-tracking device. 1 of reasons got gsm shield in first place because came bundled true "m2m friendly" sim card , service plan. i'm aware states in http://arduino.cc/en/main/arduinogsmshield -
however, in mind figured such restrictions intended prevent people replacing cell phone sim cards low cost m2m sim. i'm trying activated, appears above restrictions prevent card being useful in manner whatsoever!
so thought ask. users outside telefonica service area (i'm in u.s.), there can movistar sim account? can set cloud server? if works other cards on telefonica network can buy sim card use base station? otherwise, out of luck if live outside telefonica service plan area? (spain, ireland, argentina, brazil, chile, colombia, ecuador, peru, uruguay, venezuela, united kingdom, germany, czech republic , slovakia) found no such options on providers' web site other webinterface , firmware sketch.
when bought board, knew there restrictions, had assumed there must can use or arduino would've stated "only works in spain, ireland, etc..." if assumed wrong, wouldn't false advertising. sleazy nonetheless...

you cannot use included sim place or receive voice calls.
you can place , receive sms other sims on movilforum network.
it's not possible create server accepts incoming requests public internet. however, movilforum sim accept incoming requests other sim cards on movilforum network.
for using voice, , other functions of shield, you'll need find different network provider , sim.

i know too. paid money , reason assuming let me communicate between devices on same carrier. example telefonica sim on t-mobile network @ moment. can't send sms sim's own number. i'm thinking of sending 10,000 of text's random telefonica device.
