Installing your simcard
New SIM cards will need registering before they can be used. Full details of how this is done
can normally be found in the SIM card pack. It will normally require that the SIM card is
inserted into a mobile phone, a number dialed and instructions followed. While the SIM is in
the mobile phone it would be a good time to disable call diverts, ring back and disable features
such as
voicemail
and
text
alerts.
Please be advised that if the intercom will be used on a regular basis, we would recommend a
contract based SIM card as pay as you go call charges can be as high as 25p per call.
The GSM Gate Intercom has a built in “sim active function” which keeps track of the unit’s
activity and if there has been no usage for 6 weeks it will send out a text message to a preset
recorded number to keep the simcard alive. This then eliminates the problems of sims being
shut down if they are unused for 3 months.
Activate and put credit on your simcard and disable voicemail using the following codes.
Vodaphone:
call 1210
Tesco
call 2915
T-Mobile:
call 222
O2
call 1760
Orange:
call 4502

call 1626
EE - send the text message command VM OFF to 150
