How to roll out M2M SIMs

Order online or request the trial kit

Order from 1 SIM on IoT Go, or request the free trial kit of 5 SIMs with 100MB each. SIMs ship from India and the EU in 3 to 7 working days. API keys are issued the moment your account is created.

Fit the SIM and activate

Insert the 2FF, 3FF or 4FF SIM or solder the MFF2 chip. Activate from the console or with one API call. The device attaches to the strongest partner network in under a minute.

Set alerts, groups and locks

Group SIMs by project, set usage thresholds, enable IMEI lock and geo-fencing, and register a webhook so events land in your own systems.

Pay for what is active

Each month you pay US$1.00 per active SIM plus US$0.004 per MB across the pool on IoT Go. Inactive and suspended SIMs cost nothing. Scale pricing applies automatically from 1,000 active SIMs.

M2M SIM questions

Is an M2M SIM the same as an IoT SIM?

In practice, yes. M2M is the older term for machine-to-machine links such as vending telemetry and alarm panels; IoT covers the same devices plus cloud platforms and consumer products. Our SIM serves both: industrial grade, multi-IMSI, data and machine SMS, managed by API.

What does an M2M SIM cost per month?

US$1.00 (₹89) per active SIM per month plus US$0.004 per MB pooled on IoT Go, with no minimum. From 1,000 SIMs, US$0.60 and US$0.0025 on IoT Scale. An alarm panel sending 2MB a month costs US$1.01. Inactive SIMs cost nothing.

Do you support 2G and 3G M2M devices?

Yes, where networks still run them. 2G remains available in much of Europe, Asia and Africa; North America and Australia have closed 2G and 3G. Diagnostics show which SIMs attach on 2G so you can plan upgrades to 4G LTE or LTE-M.

Can the SIM send and receive SMS?

Machine SMS, yes. Application-to-device SMS for wake-up and configuration costs US$0.03 per message through the API. Device-originated SMS to your platform is supported. There is no voice and no person-to-person SMS.

What happens if a device is stolen with the SIM inside?

Enable IMEI lock and geo-fencing. If the SIM appears in a different device or an unexpected country, data stops within 60 seconds and a webhook fires. Suspend it permanently with one API call. The exposure is the month's US$1.00 fee and a few MB.

Can I keep the same ICCIDs when migrating from another provider?

No, ICCIDs belong to the issuing SIM. Migration means swapping SIMs or, for eUICC devices, downloading our profile over the air. We provide a CSV import so your existing device-to-SIM mapping carries over to the platform.

Is there a minimum order or contract?

No. Order 1 SIM online on IoT Go at US$1.00 per active SIM per month with no contract. IoT Scale from 1,000 SIMs has an optional 12-month term that takes a further 10% off the SIM fee. IoT Enterprise above 10,000 SIMs is negotiated.

How does the free trial kit work?

Request it with a company address and use case. We verify the address, then ship 5 SIMs with 100MB each, valid 30 days, from India and the EU in 3 to 7 working days. You get console and API access on the day you request it, so you can start in the sandbox before the SIMs arrive.

What about permanent roaming restrictions?

Countries including India, Brazil, Turkey, China, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Nigeria restrict foreign SIMs that stay long term. We provide local profiles where needed and publish a roaming-rules table on the coverage page, hedged as understood in October 2026. Tell us the countries and we confirm the approach per deployment.
