Limited access: Learn more about Test Mode and streamline your deployments by contacting our sales team.
The table shows the pre-deployment testing configuration of each SIM, its total data usage, and the target activation date at which the SIM will automatically activate if it has not yet used its available test data or SMS messages.
Pre-deployment SIMs page showing SIMs in pre-deployment testing
Pre-deployment SIMs include all SIMs in a TEST... or INACTIVE... network state. Read more about SIM statuses and states. Pre-deployment SIMs can also be manually activated out of test mode if you need to avoid configuration downtime after a device is delivered to your customers for SIMs with a Global-1 profile.
Note: SIMs in Test Mode will activate automatically after using free data, with no downtime or action required on your part.

The only exception is legacy SIMs with an active Global-1 (G1) profile, which will experience a brief disconnection when activating to update profile states.
