[Log in to your emnify account](https://portal.emnify.com/sign).

Navigate to the [**Coverage Policies**](https://portal.emnify.com/device-policies#coverage-policies) section of **Device Policies**.

Select **New coverage policy**.

Replace **New coverage policy** with the name of your policy and add a **Description**.
Then, choose a **Data Plan** and **Data allowance** from the available options.

Finally, click **Create**.

By default, connectivity is disabled, and any devices assigned to this coverage policy are blocked from all networks.
You need to enable at least one **Coverage area** for your devices to connect.

## Delete a coverage policy

Click **Delete** next to **Details** to remove a coverage policy.

## Next steps

Coverage policies only become useful after you start assigning devices to them.
