The SIM cards panel displays a list of SIM cards that matches your search query.

SIM cards list

Each entry in the result list consists of:

  • IMSI – the unique International Mobile Subscriber Identity of the SIM card.
  • ICCID – the SIM card's unique serial number which can be found on the back of the card.
  • Managed by – this shows who can make changes to the given SIM card, whether it is an administrator or a particular reseller.
  • MSISDN – the mobile number of a given SIM card. This is actually the account ID of the linked account. Thus, this field is full only when a SIM card is already assigned to a specific account.
  • Description – short description of the card.
  • Status – this shows the SIM card status:
    • Available – the SIM card is not yet assigned to any account.
    • In use – the SIM card is assigned to an account.
    • Reserved – the SIM card is assigned to a customer, but it is not in use yet.
    • Disposed – the SIM card is unassigned from the account and is no longer usable.
  • Distributor – this shows the distributor the SIM card is assigned to.
  • Representative – this shows the representative the SIM card is assigned to.
  • Customer – this shows the customer the SIM card is assigned to.

  • Re-order the columns – drag-and-drop the column headers right or left to place the columns in the order you want.
  • Re-order the rows – click Arrow (or QsIBqAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==) next to the column header to re-sort the rows. For example, the SIM cards panel displays SIM cards list in ascending order. You can re-sort them in the reverse order.
  • Change the default number of results globally – use the Number of results dropdown list in the upper right corner to adjust the maximum number of rows that appear on the panel. By default, the panel displays 25 rows. Once the number is changed, it's automatically saved, so the same number of rows is shown for PortaBilling entities, e.g., customer, account, reseller, etc.
