I would have thought you just swap the SIM for another one?

He-he… I remember when those mobile comms companies were bidding billions to buy the licenses for the 3G network…and the government trousered about £22billion from the sale… for just a pice of paper allowing the frequency use…

It’s the modem that’s the problem, not the SIM.

One option would be to use a phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot and connect the vehicle to that - works on my17 vehicles. IIRC the telematics functions use 2G as a fall-back from 3G however that is also been retired by the end of 2033 although no dates for ending 2G services have been published.

Would something like this be of any use, assuming you could just leave it plugged in out of sight in the car?

Noticed mine doesn't show 3G anymore just the 2G 'Edge'. Seems to do the online routing okay but a bit of a rip off paying EE for a 5G service.. 2017 Range Rover Vogue V6 Diesel
