Release 26.2.0 - June 4, 2026

New in SIM for Things Portal and APIs

eSIM HUB with SGP.32 (IoT eUICC)

• SIM for Things now supports the commercial use of SGP.32 IoT eUICC profiles, so your IoT eUICC cards can be localised onto local MNO profiles for optimal in-country connectivity. Localisation campaigns are set up and run for you by BICS.

• This is a paid feature. Please contact your account manager for pricing and activation.

NextGenSIM now available

• NextGenSIM is now available on SIM for Things. Legacy SIM cards and NextGen SIM cards can now run on the same account

• Sponsor priorities documented on your pricing and coverage offer are visible on the platform.

• Talk to your account manager to find out how NextGen SIM can simplify your deployments.

Manage your traffic-policy whitelist from the UI

• Enterprises can now manage their traffic-policy whitelist rule from the UI, so that you can change it whenever needed without raising a request.

  • You can modify the Traffic Policy master IP Address; all other parameters are non-editable (GUI and API). In this initial release, IP Address update only is supported and Domain URL updates will be supported in a future release.

  • The Enterprise Traffic Policy page allows you to view and edit the rule, with validation for the IP address format and a clear failure message when the policy is not present.

  • This is a paid feature. Please contact your account manager for pricing and activation. (Reseller accounts can ask to activate it for their Enterprise accounts)

More active MDBs per account and plan

• The maximum number of Multi Dynamic Benefits (MDBs) that can be attached to an account or a plan has been increased from 20 to 30, so that an endpoint can do data in more zones.

  • The new limit is enforced from the UI and the Create Plan and Modify Plan APIs and applies through Provisioning, Bulk Provisioning, Modify Endpoint and Modify Bulk Endpoint.

Retain deleted rate zone name in reporting

• When a rate zone is deleted, its name is now retained in billing and reporting data so that historical traffic and charges can still be identified by rate zone.

  • The retained name now appears across Usage Events / Transactions (and the Transaction export), GetInvoice, the Monthly and Test accrual files, the Billing page, Qlik View and the Scheduler report.

  • This also applies when an offer update creates new rate zones and deletes old ones. The name is retained on rate-zone deletion (not when simply removing a network from a rate zone).

Decimal data volumes across the Portal, reports, exports and API

From 1 July 2026, data volumes in the Portal, reports, exports, and API responses will be measured according to ITU standards and charged in decimal. This update applies automatically under your existing service agreement. No action is required from your side.

Bulk endpoint activation and suspension API’s

• You can now activate and suspend endpoints in bulk via API’s so that large volumes can be processed easily.

  • The new bulk API (EndPointLifeCycleChangeBulk) processes up to 4000 SIM endpoints in a single request. It applies to endpoints only.

  • The request takes an array of endpoint IDs plus the requested lifecycle change and reason, and immediately returns a JobId so your call isn't held open while the batch is processed.

  • A separate job-status lookup (jobstatus?id=<JobId>) returns the per-endpoint success and failure lists, so you can confirm exactly which endpoints changed state and which did not.
