OK, then maybe this is just an issue for Glyn, the user who reported
this on the forum has bought from openenergymonitor, but no SIM was
included.<br>
<br>
I'll tell him to ask Glyn.<br>

Thanks, missed that one…<br>

That means this is no longer a temporary situation, and we
need to change all product descriptions now.<br>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">FYI: We are starting to see an impact
from the US/China trade war, with OVMS as collateral
damage. This is currently affecting OVMS in two
ways:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<ol class="MailOutline">
<li class="">Imports of OVMS modules, cables, and
antennas, into USA, are starting to be hit with
a 25% tax.<br class="">
<br class="">
I don’t have any workaround, and it would cost
way more than +25% to get these manufactured
elsewhere (even if all the components didn’t
come from China in the first place). So, this
tax is now being passed on to consumers in USA.<br
class="">
<br class="">
</li>
<li class="">We are experiencing difficulties
getting the US Hologram SIMs into China.<br
class="">
<br class="">
I realise that this is an inconvenience for the
users, but we have no alternative at the moment.
So, from this week until further notice, OVMS
modules purchased from Fasttech won’t include
Hologram SIMs. These can be purchased directly
from Hologram themselves:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a
href="https://store.hologram.io/store/global-iot-sim-card/17"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://store.hologram.io/store/global-iot-sim-card/17</a><br
class="">
(You can also order on amazon <a
href="https://www.amazon.com/3-in-1-Global-IoT-SIM-Card/dp/B07GY2S8QK#ace-2093936695"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.amazon.com/3-in-1-Global-IoT-SIM-Card/dp/B07GY2S8QK#ace-2093936695</a>)<br
class="">
<br class="">
OVMS modules purchased from the official
distributors (either Carl Medlock in USA, or
Open Energy Monitor in EU) will still include
the Hologram SIMs.<br class="">
<br class="">
I have updated the user guide documentation to
clarify this.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’ll let you know if the situation
changes.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Regards, Mark.</div>

Fasttech have changed the OVMS kits to NOT include

I don't know why and when they did so, but by this
we now are lying to users in all our descriptions.<br

This applies to our project websites as well as to

Do you know the background? Is this temporary?<br
