    When purchasing from the User Console, there is a limit on the number of items that can be purchased at a time. If you would like to purchase more than the limit, create multiple orders or contact our sales team.

    Note that you can optionally insert a purchase order number or reference number in the PO/Reference number field. Doing so will ensure the number appears on your invoice and on the delivery statement. This can be helpful when placing multiple orders or for accounting purposes.

    Some products may not be available in your region. If an item you are trying to order is not shown, contact Soracom Support to inquire about availability.

    Select Soracom IoT SIMs are also available on Amazon. In some cases, purchasing from Amazon may be cheaper even with shipping included.

  3. Select a shipping address registered in your Soracom account and click Next.

    Depending on your location and shipping address, additional shipping options may be available. You may select one of these options according to your shipping preferences.

  4. Read and confirm the information by checking the under agreements such as Precautions, Product sales terms & conditions, and Important Notes for SIM Subscription Plans, then click Complete order to submit your order.

Once you have completed your order, it will be sent to our fulfillment teams for processing. Orders will typically take 1-2 business days to process.

Your credit card will be charged once your order ships.

Once an order has been shipped, order tracking details will become visible on the Product Orders tab. These details will include the name of the delivery company and tracking number(s), and clicking the delivery company link will take you to the delivery company's shipment status inquiry page, where you can enter the tracking number to check the delivery status.

If you need to cancel an order which has already been processed, contact Soracom Support.

Registering an Order

If your order contains SIM cards or Sigfox devices, they will be pre-registered to your account. Pre-registration simply associates each SIM card or Sigfox device to your account; however, registration will not be finalized and your SIM cards or Sigfox devices will not appear in your account until registration is complete.

By finalizing your registration, all SIM cards and Sigfox devices in your order will automatically be registered to your account. This process allows you to register large quantities of SIM cards or devices without the need to enter the registration information separately for each item.

For more information on registering SIM cards or Sigfox devices to your account, refer to the Registering Soracom IoT SIMs and Sigfox Device Registration documentation.
