Switch LTE SIM off/on

Feature Requests
1

i want to use the SIM only if needed (no wifi, no hotspot), cause i've a vodafone flex tarif , i only must pay if the sim is activatet and than for a month.
If starting my gl-x750 router the SIM is always activated.

My workaround :slight_smile: put the SIM out and only in if needed.

Are you using the official OpenWrt image?

OpenWrt 19.07.8 r11364-ef56c85848 / LuCI openwrt-19.07 branch git-21.189.23240-7b931da

Please make sure you're using the current official version downloaded from openwrt.org
"it is build in as default" sounds like it was pre-installed by Gl.Inet, if this is the case and you want to keep their version please contact them for support.
