We are constantly evaluating new features for the OSCAR Management Portal. We recently have received requests to include the ability to limit (blacklist) connectivity on certain networks for specific SIM cards. This feature can be helpful to troubleshoot or to ensure access only to specific networks in a particular country. NOTE: This function is only available on accounts with “BITW” type SIM Cards.
This capability can be seen on the SIM Settings page in the “Set Country Restrictions” section. While you could always restrict access in a particular country, this allows you to be more granular by restricting the individual networks. NOTE: to restrict the country completely, choose all networks in the country you want to restrict:
You can see in the above example that SIM # 883240000120757 is now being restricted for use on the MTN network in Cyprus, the O2 network in Czech Republic and the Telia Network in Denmark. This function is also available as a bulk operation on the SIM card page.
We hope you find this new feature helpful!
