SIM states

This guide reviews the various states or statuses a Hologram SIM can be in. The state indicates whether or not the device is activated on the network. If you've used the Hologram Dashboard or REST API, you have likely noticed the state value. This is used to indicate the state of the SIM with regards to the network.

In your dashboard we represent this state in two different places: on the Devices page, and on the Single device page for a SIM. The Single device page will provide you with further details about the status of a SIM and any next steps that may be required.

 

Where to view SIM state

In your dashboard, SIM state appears on the Devices page. You can filter by status using the Filter panel on the left-hand side of the page:

SIM state also appears on Single device page after selecting a device:

Below are the values possible for state in both the dashboard and the API:

Note: There is no Connected state in the REST API like one can see in the Hologram Dashboard. This is because that information is derived from the lastsession's active parameter.
