Plans

On the Plans page, you can create and customize data bundles, assign SIM cards to Plans, and monitor Plan details. The table presents essential information about each Plan, including its name, type, associated operator, company, details, labels, and whether the Plan is prorated. You can also add preset configurations for quick and consistent Plan setup.

Dictionary

Plan types:

1. Prepaid

A Prepaid Plan for a SIM card comes with a set balance, and once that balance is depleted, the client can refill it manually or through auto-refills.

How It Works:

• Balance Tracking: the balance is monitored in real-time. When the balance reaches zero, the SIM card is deactivated.

• Refilling: The organization can configure/create refills.

Usage Terms:

Prepaid SIM cards have specific terms based on the operator’s contract. For example, if a SIM card remains inactive (no refills) for three years, it may be deactivated. These details vary and are specified in the operator's contract.

Additional Prepaid Options:

• Auto-Refill: This feature automatically tops up the balance when it falls below a certain threshold (e.g., below 100 MB). The system charges either the company's card or the end user's card to the organization's account, and upon successful payment, the balance is updated instantly.

• Wallet Balance: This option allows the client to store a larger sum in advance for auto-refills. For instance, instead of topping up multiple SIM cards frequently with small amounts, the client can deposit $1,000 to cover auto-refills as needed.

Product Expiry:

Each Prepaid product comes with a usage term. For example, 1 GB of data may be valid for 365 days. If the balance is not refilled within that period, any remaining balance will expire. However, with every refill, the validity period extends from the refill date, ensuring the product can be used for a longer time as long as the balance is regularly topped up.

2. Subscription

A subscription is a Plan type where the SIM card is used for a month, and at the end of the month, an invoice is issued for all expenses according to the Plan (usage). Payment for the usage is deducted at the end of the month.

The subscription is designed for companies rather than end consumers. The end consumer may be linked to the SIM card and see the usage, but cannot manage the SIM card. Management and payment are handled by the company responsible for the SIM card.

Types of Subscription Plan:

1) Static Pool

A static pool is a pool with a fixed price, independent of the amount of SIM cards in the pool.

2) Dynamic Pool

Dynamic pool - every new sim added to the pool adds to the total amount of data and increases the pool price. Also known as "SIM cards with pooled data between them

3) Unlimited

This is a subscription with no usage limits. After paying a fixed cost you can have access to unlimited usage without additional fees.

4) Monthly Bundle

This bundle is controlled by only one SIM card. You will pay for a fixed amount of data per month. If the entire amount is not used, the funds are not refunded. If usage exceeds the bundle limit, additional charges for the extra data apply.

5) Pay per Megabyte

In this product, the user pays for each megabyte of data used. The more megabytes the user consumes, the more they pay.

3. PAYGO

PAYGO is a real-time product that charges users for data on a per-megabyte basis. While it operates similarly to pay-per-megabyte systems, it provides advanced features and supports seamless integrations. Operators can set prices not only for total data usage but also specifically for different countries. If the operator supplies country-specific information or imposes restrictions in certain regions, corresponding pricing can be established.

Product Classification PAYGO is classified as a Prepaid service, which means it operates based on a balance. Users must maintain a positive balance to utilize the service; it cannot be accessed if the balance is zero.

PAYGO plans work exclusively with the Wallet feature, so if you don't have any companies with Wallet enabled, the company list will be empty when creating a PAYGO plan.

How It Works

1. Data Collection

   • The system gathers information from the SIM card, including:

     • The amount of megabytes used

     • The country in which the card was utilized

2. Pricing Determination

   • The system identifies the applicable price based on the collected data and the specific country.

3. Balance Deduction

   • The necessary amount is instantly deducted from the user's balance.

Real-Time Processing

As new information is received, the system performs calculations and deducts funds, ensuring that the balance decreases continuously in real time.

Key Features

Key features of the page include:

1. Dynamic Table: The table is fully customizable, enabling you to add new columns or hide existing ones based on your preferences. This flexibility allows for a more personalized and efficient management experience.

2. Bulk Operations: You can perform bulk actions to streamline plan management, such as applying changes to multiple SIM cards simultaneously.

3. Detailed SIM Card Information: By clicking on a SIM card number (ICCID), you can access detailed information organized into two main tabs:

   • Details: View and manage the SIMs assigned to each plan, track refill history, manage labels, and see lifetime refill statistics. This tab provides a comprehensive view of how each SIM card is using its data plan.

   • Log: Displays a history of changes with date, modified fields, old and new values, and the user who made the changes. This is useful for auditing and tracking adjustments.

This page meets the needs of businesses and organizations that require efficient control over their mobile data plans. By allowing customization and real-time monitoring of data plans, it ensures that mobile data resources are allocated and used effectively.

The ability to track changes and manage multiple SIM cards simultaneously helps to maintain oversight, prevent data overages, and optimize costs, making it an essential tool for managing mobile connectivity.

Q&A

Why can't I select a company when creating a PAYGO plan?

The company list includes only companies that have Wallet enabled. PAYGO plans work exclusively with the Wallet feature, so if you don't have any companies with Wallet enabled, the company list will be empty when creating a PAYGO plan.
