> The Inactive signaling SIMs report is a dashboard that highlights SIM cards generating network signaling despite being non-functional, with monthly SIM counts, MSU totals, and a detailed per-SIM list to identify SIMs that may require reconnection, reactivation, or removal

The **Inactive signaling SIMs** report is a dashboard that highlights SIM cards generating network signaling despite being non-functional.
Use this report to identify SIMs that may require reconnection, reactivation, or removal from your systems.

The summary charts provide a high-level overview, while the **Inactive signaling SIM List** table lets you take targeted action on individual SIMs.

> **Note**
>
> Data is refreshed on a monthly basis within the first week of the month.

## Questions this report answers

* Which SIMs are generating signaling traffic while in a non-functional state (for example, **SIM Suspended** or **SIM Issued**)?
* How many inactive signaling SIMs do I have each month, and how is that trending?
* How many Message Signaling Units (MSUs) are these inactive SIMs generating per month?
* Which specific SIMs, endpoints, and devices (IMEI) are driving the signaling?
* Which inactive signaling SIMs should I reconnect, reactivate, or remove?
