How do I register a SIM?

Last updated 1 year ago

To get started with your Simbase SIM, you need to register it in your account. With the Simbase dashboard activating SIM cards is quick and easy. The batch registration functionality lets you register a thousand SIMs in a minute.

Let’s look at the two ways to register SIM cards and walk you through them:

Activating individual SIM card

  4. Enter the ICCID, which can be found under the barcode that is located on the back of the SIM card.

  5. Enter the Serial number found under ICCID. If you wish, assign recognizable tags to your SIM cards and click 'Add SIMs'.

  6. You can keep adding SIM cards and once you are done, click 'Next step'.

  7. Find a plan that fits your needs and click 'Select Plan' button under it.

  8. Your SIM cards will now appear on the SIM cards page.
