Default A3/S3 Media SIM card

Is the SIM card slot a standard size? In that I mean if I have a SIM card that I use to connect my laptop to the Internet will the same SIM card work on the Audi ?

Thank you

It is a standard size SIM, but it's GSM only. So assuming your SIM is GSM then it will work.

Default Compatible 4G service

Can I purchase any GSM SIM data plan from any provider and use it when my 6-month ATT trial ends? Or has Audi somehow locked us in to ATT software or the hardware? I'd like to keep the 4G connected services, but I want to make sure I am getting the best deal and somehow, I have my doubts since ATT gives away ice in the winter and hot coffee in the summer..

Yes, you can use any GSM SIM. Check out this thread: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/aud...-t-4g-2867360/

Some of us (including myself, as of this weekend) purchased a SIM from Red Pocket. It's only $5 a month for 500MB of data, which is plenty if you only use the connected functionality periodically. Links are in that thread.
