I understand that EVO-START LTE coverage is limited to Canada or the USA, depending on the version purchased.<br /> <br /> 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?<br /> <br /> Could you please clarify:<br /> <br /> - Is the SIM replaceable, and can the device&#039;s APN be configured for a local provider?<br /> <br /> - 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?<br /> <br /> - 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?<br /> <br /> If the answer differs between EVO-START models, please let me know which models support this, if any.<br /> <br /> Thank you for your help.
