Hi all. I ordered and received the OVMS module with cellular data. I thought it came with a SIM card but there was none in the box (I'm in the uk). Am I missing a SIM card or do I need to use my own? Not a huge deal but just thought I'd check.

Where did you order it from?
If you purchased from the UK distributor, it should come with a SIM card pre-installed inside the module. Power it up, and go to the web interface, power on the modem, and you should see the ICCID from the SIM card shown.
The modules from Fasttech in China do not have SIM cards, due to chinese import/export restrictions.
The SIM card, if included, is normally already installed into the module.
Kits ordered from Fasttech currently don't come with a SIM card. Kits from UK & US distributors do include one.

Ah. Right. That's my mistake then! Yes I ordered it from the UK distributor via the OVMS website. But I just opened it and took a quick look last night when I got home from work (tired and stupid). Thought the slot on the front was a SIM card slot! D'oh! Thanks all.
