The micro-SIM card connector allows now the user to connect the SIM card he likes from the outside. It is no longer necessary
to send a SIM card to Libelium for proper installation. You can ask your telecommunication provider for a micro-SIM card.
Alternatively you can take a normal SIM card and transform it into a micro-SIM card with a SIM card cutter.
Besides, the micro-SIM card connector has a push-pull mechanism, so it is really easy to remove the card with the aid of one nail.

It is highly important to turn off the Plug & Sense! device in a secure way before inserting a micro-SIM card, or removing an
existing SIM-card. The user can damage the device if this operation is done “on-the-fly”.
Make sure you closed the External SIM socket with its protection cap before outdoors deployment.
Take into account that the External SIM socket has a limited resistance so please be gentle and do not push too hard with the
USB or SIM card.
