About SIM Collections

Collections organise SIMs based on specific criteria or attributes, either as static (manually updated) or dynamic (automatically updated) groups.

Use SIM collections to:

• Generate reports or monitor a group of SIMs.

  For example, high-usage or country-specific SIMs.
• Apply bulk actions to a group of SIMs, saving time.

  For example, activate, deactivate, or update multiple SIMs.
• Track and manage a group of SIMs by lifecycle stage.

  For example, newly activated or suspended SIMs.
