In case your products are connected through a Vodafone GSM SIM card, you can enable the Vodafone GDSP plugin to manage the SIM status and verify the status of its connectivity.
When the plugin is configured in each connected product editing page, under the SIM tab, you can configure the ICCID of the SIM installed into the product. Within the SIM tab, you can also manage the SIM status by selecting one of:
- INACTIVE: the SIM cannot communicate with the cloud.
- TEST: the SIM can communicate with the cloud without paying for a limited time and exchange a limited amount of data according to your plan.
- ACTIVE: the SIM can communicate with the cloud without any limitation and according to your plan.
The panel is automatically refreshed every 30 seconds, and other than the SIM status you can also access some helpful information for connectivity troubleshooting, like the presence of an active session, the amount of exchanged data (from and to the cloud), the daily average and monthly projected network traffic, the last cell the SIM was connected to, and the timestamp this SIM information has been updated.
The SIM Session Status can assume one of the following values:
-
R: no active session since 24h.
-
A: active data session in the last 24h.
-
G: active data session.
On each thing object, you can also find a sub-node providing all the above information, that is automatically updated every day, even if the SIM panel has not been opened explicitly. In this way, you can display SIM information also into a list and search by one of them.

In the case where SIM cards are provided by Servitly, the plugin does not require you to specify any credentials; in this case the Vodafone GDSP account owned by Servitly is used.
Be careful, that only Servitly's SIM cards can work with the Servitly account of Vodafone GDSP.
