Note that the SIM card used for Internet

that the phone uses. If this is disregarded,
it will not be possible to route calls cor-
rectly to the telephone. Therefore, use a
SIM card with a separate telephone num-
ber for the Internet connection, or a data
card that does not handle telephone calls
and is therefore unable to disrupt the func-
tion of the telephone.
