When eCall is activated, it connects to the nearest emergency response centre, using both a telephone and data link. This allows you and the passengers in the vehicle to communicate with the emergency centre operator and at the same time, a minimum set of data is automatically transmitted (your exact location, the time of the accident, your vehicle’s identification number and direction of travel). This allows the emergency services to assess and manage your situation.

You are not allowed to drive anymore; your car needs to be able to call emergency response. Is an EU rule.
Edit: called eCall, compulsory.

Yes, thanks. My question is more, if the vendor already has to add a sim card and data plan, are they forbidden from using it for other things?

Can’t sue if nobody knows about it.
They don’t need a sim and days plan, if they only call 112.
That sounds like it should be able to make a mobile call, not connect to the internet, but they probably require the latter.
