A VoLTE SIM is not the same as a standard mobile or IoT data SIM. It must carry an ISIM application on the UICC and be provisioned with IMS Private and Public Identity by the operator. Putting a standard data SIM in a VoLTE device will result in data working but voice calls failing.
The right SIM depends on your device and application:
| Application | SIM type needed | Key considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Lift emergency phone | VoLTE consumer or M2M SIM with IMS | Reliability and coverage at the site. Test in situ. |
| Intruder alarm dialler | VoLTE SIM – voice path or data+voice | ARC compatibility. Some ARCs accept IP; some need voice path. |
| Fire panel communicator | VoLTE SIM with voice entitlement | Dual-path option (IP primary, VoLTE backup) is best practice. |
| Telecare / PERS device | VoLTE SIM – voice and data | Network coverage at the user’s location is critical. |
| Cellular router with voice module | VoLTE M2M SIM with ISIM | Confirm module firmware supports IMS before ordering SIM. |
| Lone worker device | VoLTE SIM with roaming if mobile user | Roaming VoLTE requires inter-network IMS agreements. |
