  2. Filed Jul 17, 2022Failure Jun 30, 2022Glen burnie, MDUnknown or other

    The SIM has the potential to become disabled and won’t connect to the mobile network. They have announced the problem but it has been months with no remedy even though it’s stated to be performed over the air. If I get into an accident there is a chance emergency responders will show up late if at all. This risk is there everytime I drive my vehicle
