Go 5200 withdrawn support for sim

[Steen]

I have received an email saying that the sim in my Go 5200 will no longer be supported.
i do not have a smartphone to connect to the TomTom and would like to know whether I will still be able to use the Tom Tom for navigation purposes.

You can but no further updates of maps, etc. will be available.

Ignore this message, this is a Tomtom error.
As long as 2G is available in your country, the SIM card cannot be deactivated.

Tom Tom have said they need to repair the sim slot for a cost of 105€ and that this would allow the Tom Tom to continue to operate as at present.
i am a bit confused as they have said the Sim will no longer be supported.
Anyone had this problem and been offered a repair?
