If your SIM still isn't being detected

If you've worked through the troubleshooting steps in Common connection problems and your device still won't recognise the SIM, the issue is likely one of the following:

  • The device doesn't support permanent-roaming, multi-network SIMs. Wave Connect SIMs use a roaming architecture that some devices — particularly older routers, certain security cameras, and some IoT hardware — don't support. The device may work in one country but reject the SIM when it roams, or fail to register on any network at all.

  • The device app doesn't expose APN settings. Some camera and IoT apps (e.g. Hikvision, certain EZVIZ models) manage network settings internally and don't allow manual APN configuration. If you can't set the APN to wbdata, the SIM may not connect regardless of other settings.

  • The device is network-locked. If the device is locked to a specific carrier, it will reject any SIM from another network. Contact the original carrier or device manufacturer to request an unlock before using a Wave Connect SIM.

If none of the above apply and the SIM is confirmed working in another device, the SIM card itself may be faulty. Contact Wave Connect support to request a replacement.

Incompatible
