Activation profiles

When activating your subscriptions or SIMs, activation profiles (AP) are used to add the plans and features.

What is an activation profile?

An activation profile allows you to create a set group of options (macro) to ensure standard activations of your SIMs by service type. Because you can create as many express activations as you need, they are instrumental in supporting multiple business contexts and applications. They are similar to EAPs in PRiSMPro but do not include as many options.

An activation profile can include:

  • Plans
  • APNs
  • SMS features 
  • Data features 
  • Voice features 
  • Roaming options
  • Cost center

Notes:
The cost center field is only available when creating activation profiles in advance from the Account Information page.

Activation profiles are not available when using API 4.

  2. Create a descriptive name that will make it unique enough to identify it on the list during activation. The list of activation profiles will identify the service type, so you will not need to include it in the title.
    Notes:
    There are no character or length limits.
    The system will not save the new activation profile if you cancel the activation request. 
  3. Select the SMS plan and then your data plan.
  4. Select your data, SMS, voice, and other feature options. The lists displayed will be customized based on your data and SMS plan selections.
    Note: Mandatory features will be automatically selected and cannot be unselected.
    Note: Watch for a scroll bar as some service types can have a long feature list.
