Types of Pool Plans
A pool plan is a single plan shared by multiple SIMs. The resources in the pool plan are used by all SIMs assigned to the plan. A Pool Plan helps organizations manage a group of SIM cards that can be shared among many devices. This approach makes it easier to allocate resources, reduce costs, and adjust to different connectivity needs as they change, providing operational flexibility and scalability.
| Type of Plan | Description |
|---|---|
| Fixed Pool Plan | This plan includes a predetermined number of SIM cards at a set price. The customer pays a fixed fee for a fixed quota of SIMs, which provides predictable and stable cost. This type of plan is suitable for use cases that have consistent connectivity needs. Customers know exactly what resources they have and what they will pay. |
| Accumulate Pool Plan | In this plan, each new SIM added to the pool incurs additional costs and contributes to its own specific quota. Customers designate quota amounts for each SIM, which can vary over renewal periods. This approach provides flexibility, allowing organizations to expand their connectivity as needed, but also leads to variable expenses depending on the number of SIM cards in use. |
