Multi-Network IoT SIM and eSIM Data Plans

Trafalgar Wireless multi-network IoT SIM and eSIM cards are compatible with virtually any cellular IoT device that supports standard SIM or eSIM form factors and a 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, 5G, LTE-M or NB-IoT modem. The SIMs are available as M2M, industrial and embedded options in 2FF, 3FF, 4FF tri-cut plastic and MFF2 solderable formats, as well as eSIM/eUICC, so they can be designed into everything from rugged equipment to ultra-compact sensors. 

In practice, Trafalgar’s multi-network IoT SIMs are used in dashcams, GPS trackers, vehicle diagnostics units, smart meters, smart labels, asset tracking devices, retail and POS equipment, industrial and environmental sensors, medical devices, and worker safety wearables across transportation, logistics, healthcare, utilities, agriculture, construction, retail, security, and smart city deployments. If your device can take a standard SIM or eSIM and establish an IP data session on these cellular technologies, it can leverage Trafalgar Wireless global multi-network IoT SIM connectivity, fully managed through the IoT Suite connectivity management platform.

Yes. Trafalgar Wireless multi-network IoT SIM and eSIM cards are designed to work across all major cellular IoT technologies on a single SIM. Our IoT SIMs provide access to 600+ cellular networks in 180 countries, and those networks collectively support 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, 5G, LTE-M, and NB-IoT radio technologies. 

With Trafalgar’s Multi-Network IoT Data Plans, the same multi-network IoT SIM can attach to whichever access technology is available and supported by your device’s modem in each country. LTE-M, NB-IoT and 5G data plans are offered wherever the local carrier has deployed those services, allowing you to use one global SIM SKU for both legacy 2G/3G connectivity and next-generation LPWAN and 5G use cases. This makes Trafalgar Wireless multi-network IoT SIMs a future-proof choice for long-life IoT deployments that may move between different network types and generations over time.

In the USA, a Trafalgar Wireless multi-network IoT SIM can attach to AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, plus regional carriers including Cincinnati Bell Wireless, Indigo Wireless, NE Colorado Cellular and The Alaska Wireless Network. In Canada it can use Rogers, Bell and Telus. In Mexico it can use Telcel, AT&T Mexico and Pegaso PCS. That makes it a practical choice for fleets and trackers that cross North American borders. The full list for every country is in the coverage table on this page.

A steered SIM prefers a set network first and falls back to others; a non-steered SIM takes whichever partner network has the best signal. Both keep your device connected, and the right choice depends on your devices, your data use and where they operate. Tell us your countries and your device type, and we'll explain exactly which networks your plan will prefer in each one before you order.

Trafalgar Wireless multi-network IoT SIM data plans are quoted on your volumes and countries, at one price in your currency wherever the device connects. You can choose a Dynamic Pooled plan, where SIMs share one data pool, or Pay As You Use, charged per MB plus a small monthly charge per SIM. There are no portal, API, activation or suspension fees, and the minimum contract is one month. Get in touch for a quote.

Yes. Request a testing SIM and try it in your own device and locations before you roll out. For larger orders, pre-activation lets each SIM register on the network with a few free kilobytes for testing, and billing starts only once the device goes live. With a one-month minimum term, you are never locked into a long contract to find out whether the coverage works for you.

Yes. Trafalgar Wireless can keep your device traffic off the public internet with a private APN and a site-to-site IPsec VPN to your servers, and can lock a SIM to one device with IMEI lock. This is common for payment terminals, emergency equipment and anything that carries sensitive data. See our security services page, or ask us to set it up with your plan.

No. One Trafalgar Wireless multi-network IoT SIM works across the 180+ countries and territories in the coverage table on this page, on one plan and one bill. The exception is a country where your devices will stay for long periods and local rules limit permanent roaming. There, a multi-IMSI or eSIM plan may be the better fit, and we'll tell you before you order.

Yes. On a Dynamic Pooled plan, a fixed amount of data is shared by every SIM on the plan, so a device that uses less leaves more for the others. This suits fleets where some units, such as dashcams, use far more data than simple trackers. You can watch usage and set alerts in IoT Suite, and there is no charge for portal access.
