New Feature: Self-Service SIM Transfers Between Workspaces
Managing SIMs across different workspaces just got easier! You can now transfer SIMs between your workspaces in just a few clicks — no support request needed.
Why This Matters
- Seamless testing– Move SIMs between staging and production environments effortlessly. For example: Move SIMs to a test environment before launching their product, then transfers them back once testing is complete.
- Easy corrections– Fix mistakes by transferring SIMs registered in the wrong workspace without need to reach support.
Key Characteristics on SIM transfer between Workspaces:
- Available for all customers with the Workspaces feature enabled
- Up to 500 SIMs per transfer
- Self-service via SIM Inventory – Admins of 2+ workspaces can transfer SIMs directly
- Automatic device detachment – Transferred SIMs will be detached from any attached devices
- Controlled status updates – Active SIMs will be moved to a suspended state, while FTM, Issued, and Suspended SIMs retain their status
How to Get Started
- 📌 In the emnify Portal: Navigate to SIM Inventory, select the SIMs you want to move, and click Transfer SIMs bulk action
- 📌 Confirm Transfer: Choose the target workspace and proceed with the transfer
This feature puts full control over SIM management in your hands, making operations faster, simpler, and more efficient.

Hardware IMEI Now Available in Portal & API
We’ve heard your feedback! Managing devices just got easier—you can now use Hardware IMEI across the emnify Portal and API.
What’s New?
- Hardware IMEI in the Portal & API:Identify devices using the IMEI printed on your hardware.
- IMEI Filtering:Search and manage devices using Hardware IMEI [with check digit], with SV, and without check digit.
- IMEI in Device Details and in Plain View:View the Hardware IMEI directly in the Device Details section or in PLAIN VIEW in Connected devices.
Why This Matters
Previously, our system displayed a different IMEI with SV, making it difficult to match devices, which you mentioned in your feedback to us. Now, you can locate and manage devices using the same IMEI you reference in your internal systems — eliminating confusion and simplifying fleet management.
How to Get Started
- In the Portal: Go to the Connected Devices page and filter devices using IMEI or check updated device details.
- In the API: Retrieve and search for devices based on Hardware IMEI.
👉 Try it now in the emnify Portal or check product documentation!

Efficient Bulk Renaming for Devices
We are introducing a new feature: Bulk Device Renaming. This functionality updates names of multiple devices simultaneously:
- Bulk Renaming:Easily rename up to 1,000 devices at once by uploading a CSV file containing SIMs ICCID and the desired new device names.
- User-Friendly Process:Navigate to the Connected Devices section in the emnify Portal, select the "Rename devices" option, and upload your prepared CSV file to initiate the renaming process. Renaming will be happening on the background so don't be afraid to switch to another page or close it.
- Summary Report:After the renaming, receive a detailed report indicating the number of devices successfully renamed and any errors encountered.
For detailed instructions on preparing your CSV file and utilizing this feature, please refer to our documentation.

We’ve streamlined the Connected Device table to make managing your devices easier than ever. Here’s what’s new:
- Quick Access to Device Details:In order to open device details you can click now on any place in the row.
- Simplified Quick Actions:You can now enable or disable devices directly from quick actions, as well as reset connectivity, enable IMEI-lock and delete devices, which appear when you hover over a row.
- Unified Status View:Device and SIM status are now displayed in the same column for a clearer overview.
- Connection Details:Connection type and status are now clearly indicated.
- Improved Usage Breakdown:Monthly usage is now split into Cellular Usage and Satellite Usage (for SAT customers).
These updates are designed to give you more clarity and efficiency in managing devices and will allow us to deliver more improvements for device table next month.

New Feature: Network and RAT Blocking/Unblocking in Coverage Policies
We have released a new feature that allows to block or unblock specific networks and RAT (Radio Access Technologies) directly within coverage policies via API and via Portal.
Key Benefits:
- Simplified Bulk Management:Customers can block networks and specific RATs in each network in a coverage policy, and the changes will automatically apply to all devices under that policy, saving time and effort.
- Prevent "Zombie Devices": By blocking networks types that are causing problems, customers can significantly reduce the number of "zombie devices"
- Cost Management:Tailor the networks available to your needs, picking and choosing when a higher-cost network should be available, even within the same country and for a specific group of devices using policies.
- Enhanced Scalability:Blocking at the endpoint level is useful for troubleshooting devices while policy-based management scales much better for a fleet of thousands, both for blocking and unblocking. We also added quick sorting for customers to have visibility of countries and RAT types blocked in a user-friendly interface.
How to Access the Feature:
- Navigate to the Device Policiessection.
- Open one of your Coverage Policies.
- Scroll down below the map to view and use the new blocking/unblocking feature.
For more details please check product documentation for blocking networks and blocking Radio Access Technologies
Frequently Asked Question:
How is Blocking networks/RATs in Coverage policy different from blocking RATs in the Service policy or blocking networks per endpoint/device?
The service policy enables or disables RAT types for all devices at once, which is less flexible.
The coverage policy provides greater flexibility, allowing customers to fine-tune their configurations with additional options, such as:
- Disabling a RAT type for a single operator.
- Disabling a specific operator entirely.

Enhanced MFA Interface and Security Visibility
We have updated the interface on the emnify portal to improve clarity and address confusion around the different types of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) options: app MFA and email MFA. Additionally, we have enhanced the visibility of security settings in the user list to provide admins with greater control and transparency.
Key Updates in the Interface:
- Improved MFA Management for Existing Customers.Customers currently using email MFA can now easily switch to app MFA through the interface.
- Clarified MFA Details for Evaluation ClientsEvaluation clients are now informed that after upgrading to a new tariff, email MFA will be mandatory and that enhanced security measures provided as part of their subscription upgrade
- Enhanced Security Visibility for Admins. Admins can now see detailed security information for all user accounts in the User List in Workspaces setting. This includes specifying whether each account is protected by Single Sign-On (SSO), email MFA, app MFA, or no security enhancements.
Feel free to reach us in case of questions via Canny.

Create Factory Test devices directly from SIM inventory.
For customers using Factory test mode (FTM) feature we improved the flow and now you can create devices with Factory test straight from SIM inventory.
What’s New?
Device Creation from SIM Inventory:
- Users and admins can now create devices in Factory Test Mode directly from their SIM inventory. Previously, this was only possible during SIM registration.
Unified Interface for Device Creation:
- The device creation process has been streamlined for both bulk and single-device creation.
SIM Status-Specific Logic for Factory Test Device Creation:
- Factory Test Mode device creation is restricted to SIMs in the Issued or FTM status.
- Bulk Factory Test device creation will only apply to SIMs in the correct status (Issued or FTM). SIMs in Active or Suspended states cannot be used for Factory Test device creation.
* The factory test mode (FTM) feature allows you to test SIM cards before deploying to a production environment. You can use SIMs in FTM up to defined data and SMS thresholds without incurring charges. In this state, you won't be charged the monthly SIM hosting fees, and the data consumed won't affect the pooled allowance. More details in the documentation.
emnify is rolling out a new feature that will extend the IP address space available to customers to millions of devices, eliminating the current /24 and /28 limitations. This will enable long term growth and at the same time will provide customers significant flexibility in configuring their own IP address spaces.
This feature is available to all
new
emnify customers starting on November 25, 2024 and will be subsequently rolled out for all
customers as per follow up announcements.Highlights:
- New organizations will have a /12 IP address space pre-allocated.
- Additionally, new organizations will also be able to configure their own IP address spaces (see attached screenshot) from the RFC6598 (shared address space) and the RFC1918 (private address space).
More details are provided in https://docs.emnify.com/how-tos/add-ip-address-spaces in the "Updated" tab.
