# Transfer SIMs to a different organization

> Transfer SIMs between organizations to organize your team's device deployments and consolidate organizations. Since SIMs belong to organizations and not users, transferring a SIM effectively transfers its ownership.

## Requirements to transfer SIMs

Before you transfer a SIM:

* You must be a member of both the originating and destination organizations.
* You must be an Admin or Manager in the organization you are transferring the SIMs from. If you are trying to transfer SIMs to a new owner, they may need to create a new organization and add you as a collaborator.
* Both organizations must have access to the SIM's **current data plan**. If the destination organization does not have access to the device's current data plan, then [contact support for help](/guides/get-started/contact-support).

## How to transfer multiple SIMs

1. Navigate to the **SIMs** pages in your dashboard.
2. Select the SIM(s) you want to transfer. You can transfer up to 10 SIMs at once.
3. Open the **Manage SIMs** menu and select **Transfer to organization**.
4. In the **Transfer SIMs** modal, select the organization you want to transfer the device(s) to from the list of organizations you are a member of.
5. Click **Transfer SIMs** to complete the transfer.

<Note>
  **Note:** To transfer more than 10 SIMs at a time, use the [REST API](#how-to-transfer-sims-using-the-rest-api).
</Note>

## How to transfer a single SIM

1. Open a SIM from the SIMs pages or using global search.
2. Open the **Manage SIM** menu and select **Transfer to organization**.
3. In the **Transfer SIMs** modal, select the destination organization.
4. Click **Transfer SIMs** to complete the transfer.

## How to transfer SIMs using the REST API

For transferring SIMs programmatically or in larger batches, use the REST API.
