Subsections

Focused per-subsection files (index + full content):

Overview

  • Overview: Programmable cellular connectivity — data, voice, and messaging for any device.

SIMs & eSIMs

  • Overview: Overview of Telnyx IoT SIMs and eSIMs, including SIM types, lifecycle states, the resource model for the API, and multi-IMSI roaming networking.
  • SIM Cards: How to order physical Telnyx IoT SIMs and eSIMs through the dashboard or API, what to expect after the order, and how SIMs are shipped and activated.
  • Lifecycle: State machine, transitions, and what to know about managing SIM status.
  • SIM Card Groups: Apply group-level configuration and policy to Telnyx IoT SIM cards, including data limits, allowed networks, and security settings managed in bulk.
  • Bulk Operations: Run one-time batch operations on an explicit list of Telnyx IoT SIM cards, including activation, deactivation, and policy updates applied in bulk.

Data

  • Public IPs: Assign public static IPs to Telnyx IoT SIM cards to enable inbound connectivity from the internet, making cellular devices reachable like cloud servers.
  • Private Wireless Gateways: Route SIM traffic through your private network instead of the public internet.
  • Private Gateway Setup: Set up a Telnyx Private Wireless Gateway (PWG) to route IoT SIM traffic over a private network. Includes APN configuration, IP allocation, and routing.
  • Traffic Policies: Control what traffic your SIMs can send and receive — by service, IP range, or domain.
  • Blocklists: Prevent SIMs from connecting to specific networks by country, MCC, or PLMN.
  • Usage Alerts: Set per-SIM usage thresholds and get notified when SIMs approach their limits.
  • Troubleshooting: Troubleshoot Telnyx IoT SIM connectivity issues — diagnose registration failures, APN settings, signal problems, and data session errors on cellular networks.
  • Detail Records: Export per-session data usage records for billing, auditing, and troubleshooting.
  • OTA Updates: Over-the-air SIM profile updates — IMSI changes, network settings, and configuration pushes.
  • AT Commands: Reference of AT commands for cellular modems used with Telnyx IoT SIMs. Configure APN, network selection, signal queries, and SMS via your device terminal.
  • Raspberry Pi 4G Hat (SIM7600-A): This DevDocs page provides a comprehensive tutorial on how to use
  • Sixfab Raspberry Pi 3G/4G Hat: Configure the Sixfab Raspberry Pi cellular HAT with a Telnyx IoT SIM. Add LTE connectivity to your Pi project with step-by-step APN setup instructions.
  • Sixfab Cellular IoT HAT: Use the Sixfab Cellular IoT HAT with a Telnyx IoT SIM. Connect a Raspberry Pi over 2G/3G/4G with UART, SPI, I2C, and GPIO interfaces for IoT projects.
  • Particle Boron LTE Kit: Set up the Particle Boron LTE development kit with a Telnyx IoT SIM. Step-by-step instructions to register, configure APN, and connect to the network.
  • Nordic nRF9160 DK: Get started with the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160 LTE-M/NB-IoT SoC and a Telnyx IoT SIM. APN configuration, AT command tests, and first connection steps.
  • Cradlepoint IBR200: Configure a Cradlepoint IBR200 cellular router with a Telnyx IoT SIM. Step-by-step setup for APN, signal verification, and basic troubleshooting.
  • Pepwave Max BR1 Mini LTE: Configure a Pepwave MAX BR1 Mini LTE router with a Telnyx IoT SIM. Step-by-step APN, WAN, and SIM setup to bring the device online quickly.
  • GL-MiFi 4G Smart Router: Set up a GL.iNet Mifi router with a Telnyx IoT SIM for LTE internet access. Step-by-step APN configuration, signal checks, and basic troubleshooting.
  • Mikrotik wAP LTE Kit: Configure a MikroTik wAP LTE router with a Telnyx IoT SIM. Step-by-step APN setup, RouterOS configuration examples, and signal verification.
  • Edge Device Deployment: Deploy a Telnyx Private Wireless Gateway at the edge to route IoT SIM traffic onto your private network. Setup, configuration, and operational tips.

VoLTE

  • Overview: Programmable cellular voice — from a simple second line to enabling native AI assistant on the call.
  • Phone Numbers: Assign real phone numbers to SIMs for voice calling and messaging.
  • Forwarding, Recording & Screening: Route unanswered calls, record conversations, and screen spam on cellular numbers.

Messaging

  • Overview: Send and receive SMS, MMS, and RCS messages directly to and from cellular phone numbers attached to Telnyx IoT SIM cards (coming soon).
