Cheap Sim Card and Plan for Audi Connect
Our free 6 months has run out. We like the send to car feature, and the search feature, but not so bothered about google maps or hotspot, so we'll only use a few megabytes a month I suspect.
The verdict seems to be Truphone, but just wanted to check if others had other recs. |
+1 for Truphone. I had the same requirements as you, Truphone was the best/cheapest for the very occasional use and limited data requirements we had.

I have Truphone and it works just great, actually I would say that it works better than T-mobile as mine seems to using the AT&T network (better coverage). All I really use it for is to look up destinations from myAudi account and to google a location. I don't use Google Maps. In the month I have used it, I have consumed 4 cents of data, guess my prepaid will last quite a bit.

Is the service through Truphone 3G? I may consider going with them.
I just received a letter from T-Mobile that due to some changes/updates to their network the metro Chicago area, the Audi Connect in-car service will go to 2G! Areas outside of the metro area will still be 3 G. The next day I got a letter form AoA with information on a free hardware update done by the dealer which will keep the service at 3G. I'll probably get it done but will be looking for other providers when my pre-paid subscription with T-Mobile runs out. |
Does the Audi letter address a T-Mobile subscription requirement for the upgrade?

Hopefully, that includes any already active plans.
