tip

Step-by-step guides are available for ordering SIMs from the SIM Shop and registering SIMs.

Delete SIMs

You can permanently delete SIMs from your SIM Inventory in the emnify Portal, ensuring that these SIMs are no longer usable for network access and cannot be recovered. This feature helps reduce unnecessary signaling and associated costs, as deleted SIMs are fully removed from the platform and don't generate any further network activity.

You can select individual SIMs or upload a list for bulk deletion, and you must confirm your choice before deletion. For more information, see How to permanently delete SIMs from the Portal.

Bulk actions

You can also perform bulk actions on a group of SIMs.
