Can an EVO-START LTE use a local SIM card to work outside Canada and the USA?

Question

Hello Fortin Support,

I have a working EVO-ONE installation and would like to add smartphone remote-start control. I understand that EVO-START LTE coverage is limited to Canada or the USA, depending on the version purchased.

Is it possible to replace the supplied SIM card with a local mobile-network SIM so that the EVO-START can operate in other countries, specifically South Africa?

Could you please clarify:

- Is the SIM replaceable, and can the device's APN be configured for a local provider?

- Would compatible cellular bands and a local data SIM be sufficient, or do firmware, activation, subscription or Fortin server restrictions prevent it from working outside the supported countries?

- If a SIM swap is not supported, is there an international version or a compatible phone-control module you recommend for use with the EVO-ONE in South Africa?

If the answer differs between EVO-START models, please let me know which models support this, if any.

Thank you for your help.
