Groups vs Bulk Operations — Groups are ongoing policy; a SIM inherits its group’s settings as long as it’s a member. Bulk operations are one-time actions on an explicit list of SIMs.
Every SIM belongs to a group and inherits its settings. Set policy on the group instead of updating SIMs individually.
Default Group
Every account has a default group. SIMs that aren’t explicitly assigned land here. Deleting a group moves its SIMs back to default. Moving SIMs between groups after they’re active can briefly interrupt connectivity.
Group Settings
Configurable via PATCH /sim_card_groups/{id}:
| Setting | Description |
|---|
name | Display name for the group. |
data_limit | Data cap (amount + unit). SIMs exceeding this enter data_limit_exceeded until the limit is raised or the billing cycle resets. |
Group Actions
These are async — each returns an action ID. Track progress via GET /sim_card_group_actions.
