custom or standard SIM card
from another operator, you need to enter:
- the phone number to the SIM card

Argos will now communicate with the remote gateway, upon which it will reboot and then connect
to the Netbiter Argos server. This process may take some time to complete. When the gateway is

IMPORTANT -
Using a PIN code for the SIM card is not recommended, and when using
Netbiter EasyConnect EC220 or Netbiter EasyConnect EC350 it is not even possible to use a
PIN code. A Netbiter SIM card already has the the PIN code function disabled. To disable this
on any other SIM card - first insert it into a mobile phone and perform the operation there.
