Anyone using an Autoterm Modem Qstart..?

9teen60six — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 17:58:46 GMT

Just bought a narrow boat and it has an Autoterm Moden for the central heating.

Does anyone use. One with an EE sim..?

It currently has a 3 sim, however I don’t know the number to set it up to my number

anyone out there help..?

The EE SIM should have the number on the package. The 3 one put it into your phone and then check the number.

There is a lot of support online for the modem if you search Google.

Thanks

Thanks, will putting the sim in my iPhone cause any issues..?

Would a PAYG sim for EE be a better option... do you have to top up every month or will it run on. Won’t be using the heating much in the summer...

As long as the SIM fits, it won't be a problem putting it in your phone.

You'll be best wit a pay monthly SIM, as you won't need to worry about hibernation of the number.

Thanks for the reply Jon,

£12/month for another sim is not an option just to be able to turn the heater on when I leave work so the boat is warm when I get home 🙂

How long is it before the number goes into hibernation..?

may have to look elsewhere for a better offer, which would be a shame as the family are on EE and coverage is hardly ever an issue...

The SIM would go into hibernation after 179 days.

Have a look at our Hibernation Support Article for more information.
