Like

What stands out most about Telefonica's IoT service is the Kite Platform which provides centralized real-time control over global IoT deployments including SIM management, diagnostics, security and API access, all in one dashboard.

Like

Was able to activate / suspend / terminate sims as needed

Like

I like the customer service and the stability of the SIM signal, we haven't had any complaints about it.

Dislike

The downside of the product is the complexity of pricing and integration, especially for multi-country deployments or when using advanced features like eSIM NB IoT or satellite fallback.

Dislike

Didn't like the cost and opportunity-based product offerings.

Dislike

I think the supply chain is not very efficient, sometimes we have had to wait longer than expected for SIMs to be repositioned.
