MTN Has Disabled My Car GPS SIM Card. by fineboynl(m): 7:50pm On Apr 10
This week i had some issues with engine sit and it was late in the night. And I don't want to manage it so i don't end up damaging other things. It was the next morning I decided to track the car if thief vandalized it. I couldn't track the number as it was just telling me sorry this number cannot receive calls. At first I was panicking until I listen to the voice again that said the number can not receive calls bla bla bla. It then point to me that MTN has deactivated the number

The problem now is how do I change the SIM card myself? I already bought the SIM card today. I wasn't the one who installed it. The previous owner did it.

Where do you park your car? Share the GPS location., make, model, year and colour.

You can change the tracker, not the SIM.

You can't replace the SIM since it is no longer functional. The security is very weak if you can replace the SIM in that condition.

SIM replacement should not be done without an authentication code from the SIM already in use. Else, anybody can take possession of the tracker.

I am not very sure if you cannot replace the nonfunctional SIM. You may be able to do it. But I am very sure that any tracker that enables you to replace a SIM that you don't have access to is very weak.

Sim was probably deactivated due to NIN issue, Just ask d person who install d tracker its location. Pretty easy to replace d sim with a total different NEW SIM CARD( at least dis time, d new sim would have ur OWN details instead)

I bought registered SIM. I know the location inside the interior. I am yet to find a video how to deassemble the location

why would u buy an already registered SIM?...it takes less than 10 minutes to buy a new SIM & get urself registered!...With all these NIN wahala & Insecurity, I don't think it's a good idea to use someone else details on a SIM that would be used on a DEVICE that would be constantly pinging ur location as U move.

I have changed the SIM card. And everything working now. Couldn't believe I spent over 15k. SIM card took 7k; including trapport cost. The first SIM card didn't work. I had to go buy another one.

lol. Registered SIM is between 3k to 3.5k while unregistered is 1.5k to 2k. The tress and all of that contributes while the registered is use for not so important task. The 7k is the two SIM plus transport.
