How to check the connection status of a SIM?

Under Networking View on the left menu, select Location Updates, enter the ICCID, and look under the Connection Status column.


Voice Location Update Type:

  • Direct: When the network on the whitelist has been set to “Direct” status. If there is no MSISDN assigned or a rate for Voice defined, the customer would NOT be able to place a call and this would just be for signaling purposes
  • Callback:  When the network on the whitelist has been set to “Callback” status. If there is no MSISDN assigned or a rate for Voice defined, the customer would NOT be able to place a call and this would just be for signaling purposes
  • Pilot:  When the network on the whitelist has been set to “Pilot” status. Only for a signaling perspective for the ICCID to register on the network
  • SMS_Only: Only relates to if there are any inbound/outbound SMSs being sent
  • N/A: This can happen due to the following reasons: 
  • If the network is not supported on the IMSI profile as per the whitelist
  • If the network is in “Blocked” status on the whitelist for voice


Data Location Update Type:

  • Data Allowed: When the network is open for services and the customer can successfully attach to the network
  • N/A: This can happen due to the following reasons: 
    • If the network is not supported on the IMSI profile as per the Whitelist
    • If the network is in “Blocked” status on the Whitelist for Data
