When defining a Feature based SIM management below are the following option

  1. Define a SIM management fee for using the specific service (data or NB-IoT) on a certain number of networks

  2. Define a SIM management fee that will be applied on top of the initial fee, when using the specific service on more networks

  3. Define a SIM management fee that will be applied on top of the initial fee, when using the specific service on specific networks

 

Example 1

Customer has created a value-added feature called “JR_Test” for NB-IoT service

In the plan there is the following configuration, based on which

  1. Every SIM will be charged for 2 Euro as SIM management fee for using NB-IoT service in up to 4 Networks.

  2. If SIM uses more than 4 networks, it will be charged an additional 2.5 euro for each additional network

  3. On top of that, when SIM uses data service on specific networks, it will pay as following

    1. 3 euro for using Airtel India IR1

    2. 3 euro for using Airtel India IR2

    3. 4 euro for using Portugal MEO

This price will not be charged if any of these networks is used before exceeding the 4 networks but it will override the above price of 2.5 Euro
