Has anyone gotten a BYD cellular/BYD Connect purchase notice (after 2yrs)?

I’ve gotten this message from the BYD app on my IPhone. Apparently there is a free cellular service included for the first two years. My car dealer in NL never spoke about this. The costs to keep using it are €99 per year. It seems to be used for native car apps which I don’t use.

I’m not sure if the use of the BYD app (remote connection like locking the car) requires this service as well. This I do use. Just like turning on the AC on hot days to cool the car before entering it.

Some questions that come to mind:

Did anyone else receive this message recently?
Did your dealer inform you while purchasing the car?
Can we “replace” the built in sim so we can use a local provider?
