What is an M2M SIM card for a payment terminal?
An M2M SIM card is a business data SIM card that allows devices to connect to mobile networks automatically.
For a payment terminal, this mobile connection allows it to communicate with the payment service provider's systems.
Mobile payment terminals often use a 4G connection for this.
A Topcom Telecom M2M SIM card lets compatible payment terminals communicate over mobile data, without relying on a local Wi-Fi connection.
Our SIM cards are ideal for retail stores, hospitality businesses, market traders, event organisers, vending operators and businesses with multiple payment terminals.
One shared data pool: pay only for the data you use
Why should every payment terminal need a separate data plan?
A payment terminal that processes hundreds of transactions each day may use more data than one used only a few times a day.
At Topcom Telecom, the data usage of all connected SIM cards is pooled into one shared data pool.
This means you don’t need to reserve a large data bundle for each individual payment terminal.
How does our data pool work?
- Each payment terminal gets its own M2M SIM card.
- All SIM cards are connected to one shared data pool.
- The devices use mobile data when needed.
- Track usage through the included management portal.
- You pay € 0,50 per active SIM card
This helps you keep costs under control, even when data usage varies significantly from one payment terminal to another.
How much does a SIM card for a payment terminal cost?
Topcom Telecom offers transparent business IoT rates.
€ 0,50 per active SIM card per month + € 1,25 per GB.
Monthly data usageIndicative price per SIM card
- 50 MB - € 0,59
- 100 MB - € 0,65
- 250 MB – € 0.85
- 500 MB - € 1,15
- 1 GB - € 1,75
- 2 GB – € 2.99
- 3 GB - € 4,25
All prices exclude VAT and are based on actual data usage. For these examples, 1 GB = 1,000 MB.
Amounts are rounded to two decimal places.
A new SIM card costs a one-off € 2,25 excluding VAT.
Example calculation: 20 payment terminals
Your business has 20 payment terminals that use an average of 100 MB per month.
The total usage is 2 GB.
Your monthly costs:
- 20 SIM cards × € 0,50 = € 10,00
- 2 GB data usage × € 1.25 = € 2.50
- Total: € 12.50 per month excluding VAT
That averages € 0.625 per payment terminal per month.
No separate large data plans—just one easy-to-manage data pool.
How much mobile data does a payment terminal use?
Data usage for a payment terminal depends on the type of terminal, the number of transactions and any additional software.
A basic payment terminal typically uses less mobile data than a modern Android or PDA payment terminal. Indicative monthly data usageBasic payment terminal5–30 MBMobile payment terminal with daily use20–100 MBHeavily used payment terminal100–300 MBPDA or Android payment terminal200 MB–1 GB or more
These are indicative figures. Software updates and additional applications may increase usage.
With the shared data pool, you don't need to choose a separate plan for every device.
