The so-called Brexit does not have any impact on you in terms of connectivity. There will be only a change with invoices. From the day Great Britain officially leaves the EU, 1NCE is obligated to create all invoices for British customers including a VAT of 19%.
Before the expiry of the 10-year activation period, you will be informed by 1NCE by e-mail, three and one months beforehand.
After the end of the activation period, you have 18 months to extend your SIM cards. During this transition period, the SIM cards are not usable, but you can extend them at any time. After 18 months, the SIM cards will be irrevocably deleted.
If the goods are damaged, you are requested to take photographs to document the damage before immediately contacting the 1NCE Customer Support team.
Setting up a Data Stream requires you to select the Stream Type to specify if just Event or Usage data is desired, or both should be sent jointly.
You can select the transmission of historic data. If historic data is selected the 1NCE Platform will send all customers data up to seven days old, however it will take significantly longer until transmissions are caught up with live data.
An activated and configured stream will be enabled instantly, and the performance can be monitored. The current Remote Status is shown in the Customer Portal as HTTP status coded from the remote site. If a 200 (OK) is displayed, the Data Stream is operating normally if the receiving section is not reachable or the configuration is invalid, it will show a 500er error.
You can pause and resume the stream at any time by using the action buttons next to the stream details.
For setting up the Data Streams for a RestAPI or RestAPI in Bulk mode the specification of an API Callback is required. The 1NCE Data Stream acts as an HTTP Client and needs an HTTP Server to handle each Post. Every sent message includes an array of one or more objects.

Yes, you can create multiple user accounts on the 1NCE Customer Portal and to set different user roles and rights. Under the tab “User” on the 1NCE Customer Portal the initial owner of the account can create and edit new user accounts. The following roles are available on the Customer Portal:
-Owner: This is the initial user and cannot be changed . This role can use every function and administrate “Admins” and “Users”. The role of “Owner” can also be assigned to a newly added user.
– Admin: This role has all access (including API access) and can administrate the account as well as create and delete users.
– User: This role can see all details on the Customer Portal and administrate SIM Cards, but cannot initiate new orders or Top-Ups, therefore this role does not have any rights to purchase or recharge.
– API User: This role is designed for the usage of the 1NCE REST API available via the 1NCE-API webpage or from applications directly via HTTPs and defines the API client credentials for programmatic access. To use the API the individual OAuth2 client_id and client_credentials are required.
For creating a new user account, the following information is required: First and last name, e-mail address (is used as login) and desired role.
API Users have the account number as a prefix in front of specified client_credential.
After creating a new user an e-mail is sent to the new mail address requesting to set an initial new password for the 1NCE Customer Portal (API User is an exception as the client_secret needs to be specified while setting up new user).
-Owner: This is the initial user and cannot be changed . This role can use every function and administrate “Admins” and “Users”. The role of “Owner” can also be assigned to a newly added user.

You can control and check the status and how much volume has been used via the 1NCE Customer Portal. The location of a module can be decisive for the strength and reliability of a connection. Please note that when using certain access technologies, such as NB-IoT, the connection will terminate when changing radio cell.
Within the check-out 1NCE customers are asked for a VAT-ID, which usually comprises of a country code (e.g. GB or AT) and a 8 to 10 digit number. The order process can only be finished if
The VAT-ID has been entered with a correct format or
The customer has said he has no VAT-ID.
ad 1) After the VAT-ID has been entered with a correct format the number will be validated automatically via a database check. If the result of this check is positive, we will create an invoice without VAT-ID (reverse charge). If the check is negative, we include the VAT on the invoice. Of course, customers can hand in the correct VAT-ID afterwards, so that the reverse charge procedure is active for reorders. The VAT-ID can be handed in afterwards via our service ticket system or via telephone hotline which are both accessible in the customer portal.

The 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat is a B2B offering only. In order to allow for the reverse charge payment 1NCE requires a valid VAT-ID in order to check if you are a registered business customer. Only if we have a valid VAT-ID we can create an invoice without VAT (reverse charge) for business customers in EU-27 countries (excl. Germany).
Therefore business customers can state within the check-out that they do not have a VAT-ID. For these business customers in EU-27 countries we will then need to add VAT on the invoice.
Note: German business customers will always have VAT included on the invoice.

If a SIM card has used the included volume of 500 MB before the activation period of 10 years is up, it remains activated for a maximum of 18 months from that point on. During this time, the customer has the option to purchase another data volume of 500 MB for another 15 USD. If the customer does not book additional data within these 18 months, the SIM card is automatically deactivated by the system when the eighteenth month is up.
For SIM cards that do not transmit any data for several months, it can be assumed that either the SIM card is defective or the connected device is defective or destroyed. To release the reserved resources from the SIM card, SIM cards that have not transmitted any data for 18 months consecutively are automatically deactivated.
With the 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat of 10 Euros net, customers receive an activated SIM card allowing them to both send and receive data on the NB-IoT, 2G, 3G, 4G or LTE-M networks during the activation period of max. 10 years. The data is sent straight to the customer’s system via an open VPN tunnel. Customers can choose how much data they send/use and when. The 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat includes a data volume of 500 MB, which can be used within 10 years. The IoT Flat Rate also includes the use of the 1NCE customer portal, which allows customers to manage SIM cards and purchase further data from 1NCE. On top of the 10 Euros for the 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat there will be additional charges for VAT as well as shipping costs.
1NCE only offers one data plan – the 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat . There are no other plans available.
When using OpenVPN, the IP Address needs to be inserted, which the OpenVPN client is delivering, when it is started.

All details on the features of the 1NCE SIM cards are listed in the on the 1NCE website and the technical specifications can be found on the Developer Hub.
The APN address (iot.1nce.net) can be found on the "Configuration" tab of the 1NCE Customer Portal in the "Network Settings" section.
The 1NCE SIM cards are sent as 4 in 1 chip cards, therefore a special selection is not necessary. The required format can simply be broken out of the pre-punched formats of the chip card. Parallel to the plastic chip card, 1NCE also offers the MFF2 eSIM format.
A 1NCE SIM card is always linked to a certain account. If there are multiple accounts, these should also be checked for the respective SIM card.
The 1NCE customer portal contains at least two e-mail addresses of the customer. This is, on the one hand, the e-mail address of the customer data used during registration and, on the other hand, the e-mail address of the user data stored for the 1NCE Customer Portal. To login to the Customer Portal, use the email address linked to your user data, not the email address of the customer data.
The data shown on the invoice correspond to the data stored on the Customer Portal. Therefore it is imperative that you verify your data stored there and updates as necessary.
The reasons for blocking can be many and varied. Before we block a 1NCE SIM card, we send an email regarding the deactivation and the reason for the deactivation. This email provides all relevant information.
If neither an invoice nor a confirmation has been received, you can check whether the order has actually been accepted. If the order is visible in your account, verify the email address and correct if necessary. You can then download the invoice from the 1NCE Customer Portal .
Once the order is placed, a confirmation is sent to the e-mail address that was stated upon registration. You can verify your e-mail address and the spelling at any time on the 1NCE Customer Portal .
1NCE only offers a prepaid service. With the prepaid system, you have 14 days to transfer his invoice or to pay directly by credit card upon completion of the order.
Currently, 1NCE only offers SEPA bank transfers and Credit Card to pay for top-up.
NB-IoT is best suited for stationary devices since it does not support seamless cell handover, which means that the connection has to be re-established again when the devices attaches to a new cell network tower.
The IMEI displayed in the Customer Portal is retrieved from the network during PDP context activation, the format is as follows:
IMEI + SV (software version), based on the standard specification 3GPP TS23.003.
Composition of IMEI:
Type Allocation Code (TAC) - 8 digits
Serial Number (SNR) - 6 digits
Spare digit - 1 digit
Composition of IMEISV:
TAC - 8 digits
SNR - 6 digits
Software Version Number (SVN) - 2 digits
If you want to compute the original IMEI from the IMEISV, you can apply the algorithm of Luhn. The Luhn Check Digit (CD) is computed on the 14 digits after the SVN digits are ignored:
Step 1: Double every second digit, starting from the first one on the most right.
Step 2: Add all digits that have been left out in step 1 and then add each individual digit that you got in step 1 (if you got a 12 in step 1, you need to add 1 and 2).
Step 3: If the sum obtained in step 2 ends in 0, then CD is set to 0. Otherwise, the CD is calculated by subtracting the sum from the closest higher value ending in 0 (if you got 18, then CD=20-18=2).

The 1NCE SIM cards have static IPv4 addresses.
These can be identified in the 1NCE Customer Portal under the view "My SIMs" in the column "IP address". The subnet or the subnets of the cards can be found on the tab “Configuration” in the "Network settings" under the heading "IP Address Space". From 250 SIM cards per customer account, several subnets can be assigned.

Ubirch uses Blockchain technology to secure data directly from the source of data creation, the IoT sensor. A private key located on the SIM card seals the IoT data. In the backend, these micro certificates are then stored in a so-called Merkle tree and anchored in public blockchains. This creates an unchangeable and irrefutable data set for each individual sensor. Since the protocol is bidirectional, an IoT sensor can also check incoming data packets for authenticity and integrity. This provides efficient protection against unauthorized commands or unknown sources, because IoT data can be verified whenever it is processed, and only verifiable packets are processed.
The new security package uses the proven SIGNiT solution from G+D Mobile Security, which creates the link between a proven SIM environment, a secure operating system and the block chain.

The IoT data security package Blockchain-on-a-SIM is a solution developed in cooperation with G&D, ubirch and 1NCE. The card manufacturer G+D Mobile Security prepares the SIM for the ubirch trust protocol during production. This modification in the manufacturing process makes it possible to seal the data directly at the source, in this case already on the SIM. A subsequent modification of the SIM is therefore not possible and the standard SIM card from 1NCE cannot be used for this.

1NCE OS is a set of developer tools that simplify the integration of IoT connectivity into your connected product. 1NCE OS consists of the following tools: The Device Authenticator, the IoT Integrator, the Device Inspector, the Device Locator & the Energy Saver.
Device Authenticator: By using the SIM card as a unique identifier (via the ICCID), authentication and identification of a connected product becomes easy.
IoT Integrator: The effortless translation of device data protocols to cloud data protocols, avoids having to build costly individual data brokerage solutions.
Device Inspector: All transmitted device data is stored in 1NCE OS up to seven days. So even when your cloud platform is down, e.g. due to unscheduled maintenance, the history and state of the device can be retrieved later for debugging, if required.
Device Locator: Find the approximate location of your devices via cellular location tracking, when no GPS data is available.
Energy Saver: Optimize the energy consumption of battery-powered products in order to lengthen the battery's duration.

All 1NCE OS tools are included, when you buy connectivity from 1NCE. You will find 1NCE OS in the main Navigation menu. After agreeing to the additional Licence Agreement, you are ready to go.
On the device side, we support UDP, COAP and Lightweight M2M (LwM2M). On the cloud side, we support the integration into Amazon Web Services (AWS), or into any other cloud platform via HTTPS webhooks.
1NCE OS does not have any limits on devices. All cellular-connected IoT devices using our 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat are able to connect and use all 1NCE OS tools.
1NCE OS has a high focus on security and its one of the core design fundamentals. As part of our development, we are running continuously security checks and penetration tests and have a dedicated Security specialist in the team. Technically, we are benchmarking all our systems on the high-security standards used in our Core Network. Authentication of IoT Devices using our SIM Card is leveraging all Mobile Core Networks Identifiers like IMSI, MSISDN and IMEI in combination with the static IP Address to verify and validate all data packages separately.
In principle, you can use any system with a modem which supports AT+CSIM commands to send APDU commands to the SIM card. For getting started quickly, we recommend to set up a ubirch testkit .
You can find the backend API documentation on https://developer.ubirch.com/api.html. You can also take a look the code used by the ubirch testkit as an example. Setting up a ubirch testkit might also be a good choice for getting acquainted with the ubirch functionality before starting to develop your own code.
If you have acquired and setup the ubirch testkit hardware yourself, please make sure that you have flashed the NB-IoT firmware to the modem. See the testkit readme for a link to suitable instructions. Also, make sure that the antenna is connected to the correct port (next to the RGB LED). You can also try to move the testkit to an area with better reception.
If you are interested in the ubirch test kit, please contact the sales team at ubirch directly.
Please make sure that you open a separate APDU channel to communicate with the applet on the SIM. Communication on the base channel (channel 0) may cause problems, because the modem hardware may already be communicating with the SIM on this channel. To open a separate channel please use the "MANAGE CHANNEL" APDU command and encode the channel assigned by the SIM in all subsequent commands in the CLA byte. (Details can be found in ISO 7816 Part 4 Sections 5.4.1 and 6.16.)
Also remember to close the channel if you no longer use the SIM or want to perform a reset. If you are using an ubirch testkit, opening a channel is automatically done by the micropython library.
Also note that for some hardware, resetting the main microcontroller does not automatically reset the modem hardware. This is because on some boards, the modem and microcontroller are implemented as quasi-separate systems. The reason for this is that such a configuration allows, for example, the modem to wake up a microcontroller that has been switched off to save power, depending on e.g. an SMS. However, this may also mean that your modem may need to perform a separate reset of its own in order to correctly reset it to its basic state before you start communication. Please refer to the documentation of your chosen board/modem to determine if and how you need to perform such a separate modem reset and, depending on the default configuration of your modem, AT status messages such as "+CEREG" may disturb your SIM communication if they occur while you are waiting for an AT+CSIM command response.

Modules that do not support a Multi-IMSI SIM, talking of not supporting the "SIM Application Toolkit" (STK), will use the 1NCE standard IMSI to provide connectivity on 1NCE's standard roaming profile .
There is no overlap in the coverage of the two IMSI, so that the module's "SIM Application Toolkit" can clearly distinguish which IMSI is used depending on the region/country, so there are no additional latency time in selecting the networks.
The sub-nets and IP-addresses for the 1NCE China+ IMSI will be delivered from the same pool as for the 1NCE standard IMSI.
There is no Chinese Network firewall issue, because the internet breakout is in Europe. All sensor data are transferred via our partner China Telecom Global directly to us.
Yes, out of China, Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong you will get the same behaviour like for the 1NCE standard IMSI.
The point of switch to the China+ IMSI also depends on the device. The "SIM Application Toolkit" will switch automatically as soon as the device notice, that the country/region is changed.
Yes, the Multi IMSI China+ SIM works normally in the other regions. But in Mainland China, just China Telecom the 4G/NB-IOT network is available and in Hong Kong 2G/3G/4G at HKT CSL and in Macau 4G at China Telecom Macau network is available.
Multi-IMSI means there are at least two IMSIs on the same SIM card, which allows the customer to get coverage of ‘both worlds’, which means roaming is possible in all networks, which either do have an roaming agreement based on 1NCE standard IMSI or based on CTG IMSI. The China+ SIM itself only provides additionally NB-IoT and 4G coverage via the CTG network in Mainland China and 4G coverage in Macao.
The Customer Portal offers the option to create multiple user accounts which allows for different user roles and rights. Under the tab “User” the initial owner of the account can create and edit new user accounts.
The following roles for additional user accounts are available:
Owner: This is the initial user and cannot be changed. This role can use every function and administrate “Admins” and “Users”. The role of “Owner” can also be assigned to a newly added user.
Admin: This role has all access (including API access) and can administrate the account as well as create and delete users.
User: This role can see all details on the Customer Portal and administrate SIM Cards, but cannot initiate new orders or Top Ups, therefore this role does not have any rights to purchase or recharge.
API User: This role is designed for the usage of the 1NCE REST API available via the 1NCE-API webpage or from applications directly via HTTPs and defines the API client credentials for programmatic access. To use the API the individual OAuth2 client_id and client_credentials are required.

The coverage of the 1NCE For All card is fixed. With the upgrade to the 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat, the coverage of the card can be extended to more than 168 countries.
Shortly before the end of the free 12 months, the customer will be informed by e-mail about the upcoming end of the runtime and can decide at this point whether to upgrade to the 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat in the foreseeable future. There is no provision for automatic renewal.
The free 1NCE For All product is designed to test IoT connectivity and is therefore limited to 50 MB data volume only.
Regardless of the 12-month term, it is possible to upgrade to the 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat for $10.00 at any time and thus use the full 500 MB volume of the 1NCE Standard product, along with other extensions.

The background of 1NCE For All is to offer IoT connectivity free of charge and easily configurable in order to generate no additional costs for developers for testing purposes and to focus on development through simple implementation. For this purpose, 1NCE offers the free 1NCE OS in the 1NCE Customer Portal, which is also based on AWS services and therefore cannot be used without an AWS account.
1NCE offers the free of charge 1NCE For All product exclusively through the AWS Marketplace .
The free 1NCE For All product is limited to a term of 12 months and does not renew automatically. To use the card beyond these 12 months, proactive action by the customer is required.
The 1NCE For All product, just like the 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat, is only available to business customers.
The term of the 1NCE For All card is designed for a maximum of 12 months and must be actively upgraded by the customer. Automatic renewal is not provided for in order to keep test purposes calculable.
1NCE For All can be upgraded to the 1NCE IoT Lifetime Flat at any time in the Customer Portal. This turns the free card into the 1NCE Standard product for $10.00 for 10 years with just a few clicks.
In terms of accounting, and thus also for tax purposes, a sub-organization and master organization are treated in the same way. Therefore, a valid VAT ID must also be provided for the sub-organization. The same VAT ID can be entered for the sub-organization as for the master organization if billing addresses are identical.
The phone number of the SIM card is identical to the MSISDN of your card, but cannot be used for voice calls. If, for example, a device has to be configured via SMS, you can send AT commands to the MSISDN. SMS can be sent directly from the customer portal or via an API. For more details on the topic, visit https://help.1nce.com/dev-hub/docs/examples-mt-sms .
In the 1NCE Customer Portal we offer a so-called "Auto-Top-Up" feature, which you can use to automatically top-up your cards. Just deposit a valid credit card in the customer portal to activate this feature. The volume of your SIM cards is automatically checked by the system every day at 06:00 and 18:00 CET. As soon as more than 80% of the volume is used, a top-up is automatically triggered. You can find more information at https://help.1nce.com/dev-hub/docs/portal-sims-sms#auto-top-up .
If you need more detailed information on one or more countries beyond the information provided in our country coverage, please contact us at any time. Existing customers please use the contact options via their customer portal, as an interested party please use our contact form .
We keep you informed about the so-called "2G/3G Discontinuation" in our Developer Hub.
You can create and delete users independently as "Admin" and "Owner". You can find more information in the Developer Hub. If it is not possible, please contact us via the customer portal.
