# Billable Items

## Daily Fees

With Simbase, you'll only be charged for the services you actually use, for as long as you need them, and without any contracts. Our pricing works just like paying for utilities or cloud services - you only pay for what you actually use. And the best part is, once you no longer need our services, there are no additional costs. We believe in keeping things simple and fair for our customers.

{% hint style="info" %}
SIM cards that hold the 'enabled' SIM state, are considered billable. We charge your account balance daily for all enabled SIM cards. Please see our [pricing page](https://www.simbase.com/pricing) for details
{% endhint %}

## Public IP

If you need to access your device remotely, you have the option to assign a [public IP](/platform/public-ips.md) to your SIM card, and you will be billed for it on a daily basis. For more information about the pricing of a public IP, you can refer to the details provided on[ this page.](https://www.simbase.com/fixed-ip-sim-card)

## Private Networks

Private networks are virtual private subnets to which you can assign your SIM card. A private network is billed on a per-day basis and the pricing depends on the subnet size. Every private network comes with the OpenVPN service enabled for free. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
Additional charges for IPSec tunnel(s) apply.
