It is not really a phone - it is more like a Wifi connected device which makes all calls over VOIP. There is no GSM connection and therefore no SIM etc. I like the project but calling this a phone is inaccurate.

If a GSM module is also included, this would be a lovely device to have. Also, would be nice to have a much larger screen.

According to their FAQ[1], they have already designed an LTE module, but it isn't ready for sale yet.

> DO I NEED A SIM CARD?

> No. You might be able to get one into the microSD slot if you really push.

This made me smile :D
