IoT and M2M SIM cards for devices and machines
Data-only SIM cards for sensors, trackers, meters, charge points, payment terminals and cameras. With data pooling, usage monitoring and multi-operator coverage on one contract and one invoice.
Short answer
An IoT or M2M SIM card is a data-only card that brings a device online on its own, without a mobile subscription. At Netcom Mobile that starts from 3 euro per SIM per month excl. VAT, with data pooling so all cards draw from one shared volume, usage monitoring against bill shock, and optional multi-operator coverage when one network is not enough.

What companies use it for
Data for devices that need to talk on their own
From a single sensor to thousands of cards in the field. The formula follows the usage of the device, not that of an employee.
Meters and sensors
Smart meters, temperature logging and water levels that send a few megabytes per month.
Tracking and logistics
Vehicles, containers, trailers and equipment that continuously report their position.
Alarms and access
Intrusion panels, camera surveillance and access gates that cannot afford to drop offline.
Charge points and vending
Charging stations, vending machines and payment terminals handling transactions in real time.
On-site machinery
Construction machinery, pumps and installations exchanging telemetry and firmware updates.
Backup connectivity
A router with a data SIM as a fallback line for tills and payments during a line outage.

Larger volumes or a different profile, for example a fixed IP, private APN or a pool across multiple countries? We calculate that on a custom basis. Request a proposal.
How an IoT rollout works with us
- 1. Profile per device. We determine the monthly usage, location and whether downtime is acceptable per device type.
- 2. Network choice. Fixed locations get the strongest network on site, critical devices get a multi-operator card.
- 3. Pool and caps. We set up one data pool with a cap per card, so a faulty device never drives the invoice.
- 4. Rollout. Cards or eSIM profiles are delivered numbered, so your installer links them straight to the right device.
- 5. Follow-up. Monthly reporting per card and one dedicated contact for blocking and replacements.
Case in practice
Blulinc connects charge points via Netcom M2M
Blulinc builds charging infrastructure for businesses. The charge points need to be online 24/7 for transactions, monitoring and energy management. Netcom provides the M2M connectivity behind that infrastructure: data-only SIM cards in a pool, with usage caps and the ability to switch between networks when a location has weaker coverage.
- +One data pool across all charge points
- +Caps per card against bill shock
- +Multi-operator coverage for critical sites
- +One invoice and one contact
Why charging infrastructure needs M2M
A charge point is more than a socket. It logs sessions, opens access for authorised users, sends usage data to a management platform and receives firmware updates. When the connection drops, payment and monitoring stop working.
With an M2M card instead of a standard mobile subscription you only pay for data, share the volume across all charge points and set caps so a faulty device cannot let costs explode. For outage-prone locations you choose a multi-operator card that switches networks automatically.
Frequently asked questions about IoT and M2M
What is the difference between an IoT SIM card and an M2M SIM card?
In practice, none: machine-to-machine is the older term for devices exchanging data without a human, IoT is the broader name for the same principle. At Netcom both run on the same data-only cards with monitoring and pooling.
Can I share data across hundreds of SIM cards?
Yes. With a data pool you buy one volume that all cards consume together. A tracker that sits still uses almost nothing, a camera uses a lot, and together they stay within the same pool.
Do the cards work on multiple networks?
The multi-operator cards switch between networks when the first one drops. That is the choice for alarms, payment terminals and devices in difficult locations.
How do you prevent bill shock from a device that runs wild?
Every card gets monitoring and a usage cap. If a device is faulty or stuck in a firmware loop, the card stops at the cap instead of continuing to run up costs.
Can I block or replace a faulty card myself?
You report the card to your dedicated contact, we block it and send a replacement card with the same profile. The pool's data volume stays unchanged.
Do you support eSIM for devices?
Yes, for devices with an eSIM slot we load a profile remotely without shipping. Useful for equipment already in the field or manufactured abroad.
