Setting up Velocity IoT SIM (VIOT-1SIM) During Quick Start Setup
- Set up your SIM:
- Create your account on velocityiot.net account
- Add your SIM by entering its ICCID (found on the back of the SIM card).
- Select your desired plan.
Every SIM comes with a free 100MB data allowance, reflected as a $5.70 discount. You will only start being charged once you use data beyond the $5.70 equivalent, based on your plan's rate. The discount is valid for up to 3 billing cycles, after which it expires.

During account registration, a credit card is required for a $1 authorization hold.
Our platform follows a "pay for what you use" policy—if there’s no SIM activity in a billing cycle, no charges will be applied.
