IoT SIM card tariff models
Freeeway supports multiple IoT SIM card tariff models. The price plans are available for data and SMS services. For data services, the price plans are built either:
on per MB pricing scheme OR on data bundles*.
*a data bundle consists of a pre-defined monthly consumption, such as a fixed bundle fee including a bundle volume of 5MB/100MB/1GB and a fee on every MB consumed above the bundle volume fee per MB (= out-of-plan fees).
MORE THAN AN IoT SIM CARD.
WE MAKE THE INTERNET OF THINGS POSSIBLE.
Pricing & pooling options
We offer two different pricing methods:
Postpaid
billing method
At the end of the billing cycle (usually aligned with the calendar month), the consumed data volume and SMS are charged. The invoice highlights the different data bundles, SMS and M2M voice consumption, and out-of-plan fees.
Prepaid
billing method
Optionally you can select a prepaid model that provides a per price-plan level, an MB data bundle, and a validity period, e.g., 500MB for 24 months.
Furthermore, we provide the pooling of SIM cards under one tariff to balance different usage patterns. The two pooling options are available:
Static Pool
Sharing model
where a certain number of data, i.e. 500GB, is provided monthly. An infinite number of SIM cards can be assigned to the static pool and consume from there. After the pool is consumed, you have the option that another pool of the same size is opened or that a second smaller pool, i.e., 50GB is added for this billing cycle. In the following billing cycle, the system will start again with a static 500GB pool.
Flex pool
balancing model
A Flex pool allows you to use the data allowance of multiple SIM cards within a price plan. With every additional activated SIM card, the overall pool for you increases. The price plan consists a data allowance per SIM and an over-usage rate per zone. In case that the data allowance is used up, the SIM card is NOT deactivated.
Price plans can be changed at any time during the month. The price plan set on the last day of the billing cycle (month) will be charged.
All tariff plans are zone-based network plans, which means that the tariff can span over a geographic area, such as EU, EU+4, EU+USA, EU+LAM, LAM, APAC, etc.
