Go 5200 withdrawn support for sim

[Steen]

I have received an email saying that the sim in my Go 5200 will no longer be supported.
i do not have a smartphone to connect to the TomTom and would like to know whether I will still be able to use the Tom Tom for navigation purposes.

You can but no further updates of maps, etc. will be available.

Ignore this message, this is a Tomtom error.
As long as 2G is available in your country, the SIM card cannot be deactivated.

Tom Tom have said they need to repair the sim slot for a cost of 105€ and that this would allow the Tom Tom to continue to operate as at present.
i am a bit confused as they have said the Sim will no longer be supported.
Anyone had this problem and been offered a repair?

If your GPS is not receiving traffic, it is your SIM card that is deactivated.
Ask Tomtom to reactivate it.
Tomtom is currently doing everything it can to encourage people to buy a new GPS without a SIM card.

I have two TT6200 and since the last update they are taking ages to find a sat signal, its either about 5 miles or 5 to 8 mins to find a signal, it was working just fine before the update.

I suggested to TT that their dirty tricks dept was at work making it go slow first, and then withdraw support altogether I assume that the idea is to make you but a new one, a bit like Apple with phones.

I was offered the repair at over 100 euro each but as I have two of the TT6200 and both started with the same problem after the update I decided not to bother with the repair and just wait for a signal.

They either have a problem with the last update or its intentional however a new one I will not be buying, shame because this model is the best they ever made
