As part of these updates, sales of the plan-US-max, plan-US-NA, and planP1 subscriptions will end on January 1st, 2027. Starting on this date, these subscriptions can no longer be purchased or added to IoT SIMs.

This change does not affect subscriptions that are already in use. Existing plan-US-max, plan-US-NA, and planP1 subscriptions will remain active and supported, and devices using them will continue to connect to cellular networks as usual. No action is required for existing deployments.
