What type of sim card should I use for my gps module?

Alexandros81:
Hi.
I have recently purchased a GPS module from ebay. Here is the link: (Look for Item3)
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SIM808-GPS-GSM-GPRS-Bluetooth-Module-W-2-4G-Antenna-Replace-SIM908-For-Arduino/152866884024?hash=item23979389b8:m:mTrzeVdGfb0f2RpqQNWw5zA

I have no idea of what type of sim card I should use.
I am going to use the GPS module only for receiving its location.
I am located in Greece.

thanks

I doubt if we can help you. It depends on what your local telecom companies offer. Could be they have a super simple subscription plan. Or you buy a prepaid card.

the same sim card your handphone has? just make sure good reception telco where you will put it and the same form factor as the sim slot on the board. i have a unit like this with built in battery (now dead), it has manual of how you will setup the SIM, where to send message to in an event such as exceeding speed limit etc, SMS command to the unit etc. this one looks similar to mine but cheaper as yours, maybe it has the same manual? maybe you can find the manual for your unit. treat it just like a normal handphone with GPS reporting capability (mine has logging to sd card function at an interval) but automatic hang up when you/somebody try to call it.

Do I need to place a SIM card to the module?
I only going to use it to receive the its location.

how are you going to receive it other than telephone communication (SIM)? look carefully those pictures. you seems to not know what you are buying.

edit: right, if you are thinking of bluetooth or mcu communication, you dont need a SIM i guess. but why buy it in the first place? this one should suffice.
