It is not illegal for individuals to use IOT cards. The Internet of Things card is jointly issued by the three major operators, aiming at realizing the intelligent management of enterprise hardware equipment, and is also widely used in various fields of society. In recent years, the state and local governments have introduced many policies and incentive measures, which have made great progress in the research of technical standards and industrial application development in the field of Internet of Things in China. But if used improperly, it is likely to be illegal. For example, it is illegal for individuals to sell IoT cards, wholesale IoT cards to the secondary market in the form of mobile cards, and use IoT cards in personal mobile phones.
