Anyone using an Autoterm Modem Qstart..?

[9teen60six]

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..?

Hi @9teen60six 

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...

Hi @9teen60six.

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...

Hi @9teen60six.

The SIM would go into hibernation after 179 days.

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