Can I send and receive short messages on the Internet of Things mobile phone card?

You can accept short messages. Internet of Things SIM card has its own unique number segment.

The difference between IOT card and ordinary mobile phone card;

First, the difference between management methods.

It is very convenient to recharge ordinary mobile phone cards. You can pay through Alipay, WeChat or the business hall, and superimpose the traffic package. You can consult the usage of mobile phone charges through customer service. The IOT card is recharged and superimposed through the management platform provided by the agent to check the traffic usage.

Second, the difference between the purchase methods

Ordinary mobile phone cards can be purchased directly in the business halls of the three major operators. Internet of things card operators do not sell directly, and agents are responsible for promotion.

Third, the difference between application and use.

Internet of things cards are generally not open to ordinary consumers, but are sold in batches to enterprise users by real names. At the same time, the Internet of Things card has a special APN (service access point) which is different from the ordinary mobile phone card.

Fourth, the difference between service and operation.

The biggest difference between IOT card and ordinary mobile phone card is that the three major domestic operators all provide IOT card management platforms, allocate special accounts or open APIs for enterprise users, and provide services such as over-the-air card writing, location positioning and traffic management.

SIM cards were originally developed to authenticate users on consumer mobile networks. SIM is used as a repository of unique information about devices, including authentication credentials and operator data, and as a key to allow devices to access cellular networks.

SIM cards are particularly useful for IoT applications, because if properly configured, SIM cards allow developers to authenticate individual devices, track locations, monitor data usage, and manage their own cellular data networks.
