Guidelines
Labels are assigned to SIMs in a single account. However, the label is not unique to that account and the same label can be applied to SIMs in a different account.
The SIM label is case-sensitive.
The SIM label structure is limited to:
-
A single word (no spaces allowed)
-
Alphanumeric characters only (a, b, c, 0, 1, 2, etc.)
-
Special characters are not allowed
-
Underlines between characters are not allowed
You can also create Labels using Settings > Labels. After you create them there, you must return to the SIMs module to assign them to SIMs.
