Package Guidelines

A Package is designed to contain one or multiple plans up to the maximum allowed for a single subscriber. Each package may contain these types of plans:

  • Regular Type Plans: Usage, Money, Account Rate, Plan Rate.
  • Pool Type Plans: The pool plans must be different.
  • Hybrid Plans: Consists of both regular and pool plans.

Make sure you use these guidelines when you create a package.

Action Description
Package Creation There are no restrictions regarding the number of Packages that you can create.
Package Deletion A Package can only be deleted from the catalog if it is detached from the SIM. When you delete a Package, all included plans within the package are automatically removed.
Package Modification
  • Name: When you set the Package Name, it cannot be changed.
  • Description: Modifications to the Package Description can be performed at any time.
  • Eligibility: Adjustments to the eligibility of sub-accounts can be made as needed.
  • Nested Plans: The addition, removal, or priority changes of nested plans are permitted, provided that no SIM is currently attached to the Package.

It is important to note these limitations when you attach a package to a SIM.

  1. The sub-account is tagged as ‘Allow customer to attach SIMs to Buy Plan/Package’ by the parent account.
  2. There is at least one Plan/Package marked as eligible for use by the sub-account.
  3. A SIM may only be attached to either a Package or individual Plan(s) at any given time, but not both simultaneously.
