Until now, transferring an IoT SIM to a different Soracom account was self-service only for SIMs in Ready status. Transferring SIMs in Active, Inactive, Standby, or Suspended status required a request to Soracom Support, and Soracom processed the transfer on your behalf.

With this update, you can submit and manage a transfer request for SIMs in any status directly from the Soracom User Console, without contacting Soracom Support.

What's new

• From the SIM Management page, select the SIMs you want to transfer and create a transfer request addressed to the destination account.
• The destination account reviews the request from their own User Console and approves or rejects it.
• Once approved, the transfer is processed automatically.
• The SIM Management page also shows a notice for incoming transfer requests addressed to your account.

There is no transfer fee for SIM transfer requests submitted through this new self-service flow, regardless of SIM status.

This feature is available in both Japan and Global coverage.

For more details, see Transferring Soracom IoT SIMs.

If you have any questions, please contact Soracom Support.

We have launched planM1 and planV1, two new global Subscription Containers. planM1 can be added to existing plan01s and plan-US IoT SIMs, while planV1 can be added to existing plan01s IoT SIMs.

planM1 provides coverage in over 60 countries and regions, and planV1 provides coverage in over 180 countries and regions. Depending on the country or region where your devices are located, these plans may support more carriers and radio access technologies than current subscriptions.

Using planM1 and planV1

From the Soracom User Console, you can add planM1 to an existing plan01s or plan-US IoT SIM, and planV1 to an existing plan01s IoT SIM. Please refer to the Subscription Container documentation for more information.

Customers located in Japan must request access in order to use planM1 or planV1. For details, please contact the Soracom sales team (Japanese).
