Multi-carrier SIM Support
External multi-carrier SIM cards are not currently supported on any MG or MXC devices. Multi-carrier SIM cards use global roaming functionality to provide access to multiple carriers on a single SIM. If you intend to use these SIM cards at your own discretion, Meraki support won’t be able to assist you if the devices don’t work as expected.
