Who you sell it to: today, rather than selling it new, you will find it already installed.

What it earns you: an installed base to migrate. That customer already pays for a service and already understands what it is for: replacing his device is the easiest sale you will ever make.

What to watch: much of this installed base dates from the 2G era, and that network is being switched off country by country. Check which network yours use and warn the customer months ahead, not once it has already gone silent.

If you inherit it already installed, start here: devices that stop reporting, which protocol your device speaks and what to check when a device goes quiet.

Which protocol it speaks: Xexun devices reach the platform over the Xexun protocol. Its page explains what it is and how it works.
