As per title, does the SIM only PAYG need activation before it can go to router.
Edit: should mention - three network

Pretty sure Three charges you on the spot, once you put the phone into a device it auto actives, no need to contact Three.

thanks for response.
I have deployed router pre-configured to operate with three SIM (tested with my old PAYG), but wasn't sure if user would require to activate their new PAYG SIM in the phone / online activation before it could be used in the router. They up-n-running now, but i still don't know if it worked right away 😊
