Nigel MaudeI don't think it matters what SIM card you have. They just track amount of activity to get an idea how many in broad terms are on the Island at any one time
I doubt it will be an accurate account because I am not a resident but have a Spanish SIM to beat roaming charges, and play the 90/180 Schengen game. I wonder how many others do the same?
