Delivery time and shipping

It usually takes two working days for your package to be delivered to you by PostNL. You will receive a shipping confirmation by e-mail as soon as your package has been sent to us. Here you will also find the Track & Trace data, so that you can view the status of the delivery.

The sending party contacts the delivery service. This is us. Please let us know if your T&T code indicates anything other than an expected delivery date.

SIM card in general

What exactly is meant by '4G unlimited'?

With this subscription you have no limit in data usage or bandwidth. Nevertheless, we apply a 'don't push it' policy, which means that the connection must not lead to network overload. You can imagine that a connection at night in a rural area has a different load on the network than during peak hours in a city center.

What are the differences between Unmanaged SIM cards versus Managed SIM cards?

We supply data bundles from different suppliers with different properties. Managed SIM cards can be managed in a portal, where you can view the data usage in almost real time and set alerts and limits on the SIM cards. Unmanaged sims do not come with a portal, nor do they offer interim insight into data usage. The usage data of these unmanaged SIM cards only become available at the end of each calendar month.

Are Voice and SMS possible on an IoT SIM card?

Comgate is an IoT Service Provider that primarily offers data bundles. On top of this, there are options for Voice and SMS. Ask for the possibilities.

What options are there with regard to fixed IP addresses? Do you also offer VPN and APN options?

As a network independent party, we supply SIM cards from various operators. Please contact our sales department to discuss the possibilities and wishes.

What is an eSIM card?

Comgate supplies the eSIM from KORE wireless. This SIM card is especially for IoT solutions and is available in various sizes. This means that we offer it as a knockout plastic 3-1 sim (2FF / 3FF / 4FF) and as a solderable chipsim (MFF2). The extensive memory on the eSIM offers, among other things, the possibility to switch providers over-the-air. Would you like to know more about the eSIM?

  • Is the device suitable for roaming SIM cards and is 'roaming' enabled in the device?
  • Is there a malfunction on the network? View our disruptions page.
