Alchemy SIM

Capabilities

The checklist buyers actually work through, answered straight, including the parts we have not built yet.

What we do, and what we do not

Buyers comparing connectivity providers work through the same checklist. Here is ours, answered straight. Where something is on request it means we can do it and will set it up for you, not that it is a button you press. Where something is not built, we say so.

SIMs and provisioning

CapabilityStatusDetail
Physical SIMAvailableStandard plug-in form factors.
eSIMAvailableWhere your hardware supports it.
Steered or unsteeredOn requestWe can supply either. Which one suits depends on the sites, so we would rather ask than default. Tell us the deployment and we will tell you which we would put in.
Dormant and suspended statesOn requestAvailable on some products, not all. Worth asking early if your estate is seasonal, because it changes what the right product is.
IMEI lockingOn requestTies a SIM to a device so a pulled SIM is useless elsewhere.

Addressing and routing

CapabilityStatusDetail
Fixed or private IPAvailableEither through a private APN, or by other means where a full APN is not warranted. Ask and we will tell you which fits.
Private APNAvailableMinimum 100 devices per APN, one product per APN. Details.
SMSAvailableSupported.

Cost control

CapabilityStatusDetail
Pooled allowancesAvailableSeparate Base and Lite pools. A quiet site funds a busy one. How pooling works.
Spend and usage capsAvailableWe set these on your account for you. Tell us the limit and the behaviour you want when it is reached.
Rates that only fallAvailableVolume bands follow your rollout. Once your estate reaches a band you keep that rate; it does not go back up if the count dips.
Self-service caps in a portalIn buildSetting your own limits without asking us is a portal feature and the portal is not open yet. Today you ask us and we do it.

Billing

CapabilityStatusDetail
True 30 day cyclesAvailableNot calendar months. No minimum term on multi-network SIMs.
Overage in arrearsAvailableOnly if a pool runs dry, and shown to you before it is invoiced rather than after.
Per-SIM line detailAvailableEvery SIM on the invoice with its identifier and its usage, not a single summarised line.
Customer portalIn buildUntil it opens we send usage and pool reports directly, and you can ask for a position at any time. What it will show.
Why we list the gaps. Two of the rows above say "in build". We would rather you knew that now than found out after an order. If something on your checklist is missing from this page, ask, and we will tell you plainly whether we can do it.
