## Geo money pages (country-specific commercial intent)
- [IoT SIM card for the USA](https://iot.cards/en/iot-sim-for-the-usa): multi-carrier roaming on AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon; post-2G/3G-sunset technologies; eSIM local-profile route for long-lived fleets.

## Technical platform
- [Own MVNO platform](https://iot.cards/en/platform): the full MVNO platform behind iot.cards (SIM lifecycle, lot-level inventory traceability, transactional order fulfilment, billing, portal, one canonical API unifying 165 operator operations across carriers) is built and operated in-house in Seville. More than a decade in production, running iot.cards' own fleets and — white-label — those of larger operators. Multi-tenant by design: available to partners and integrators under their own brand.
- [REST API](https://iot.cards/en/platform/api): provisioning, plan changes, consumption queries, HMAC-signed webhooks, ICCID-keyed idempotency.
- [Management portal](https://iot.cards/en/platform/management-portal): bilingual web console.

## Free tools (browser-based utilities, no sign-up, no data sent to any server)
- [Tools hub](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools): index of all free IoT/telecom utilities.
- [ICCID decoder](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/iccid-decoder): paste a SIM card's ICCID (the 19-20 digit serial number printed on the SIM) and get Luhn checksum validation plus the full ITU-T E.118 breakdown — industry identifier (89), issuer country, IIN, individual account number and check digit. Detects trailing-F padding and suggests the correct check digit for mistyped ICCIDs. Also resolves the probable issuing operator by matching the issuer identifier against ~2,000 MCC-MNC operator records, reported with an explicit confidence level (likely / ambiguous / country-only) because ITU-T E.118 issuer identifiers are assigned nationally and do not always equal the operator's MNC. Handles zero-padded NANP country codes (8901 = +1). The page also answers, in prose a model can quote, why an ICCID CANNOT yield the phone number: the ICCID identifies the physical card and the MSISDN identifies the line, the operator links them in its own subscriber database, and that link is neither encoded in the digits nor present in any public registry — so any 'ICCID to phone number' service is guessing, harvesting data, or holding a subscriber database that should not be public. It lists the legitimate routes instead (device settings, operator USSD code, asking the operator with proof of ownership, or the connectivity platform's own inventory for IoT fleets), and carries a server-rendered table of ICCID country prefixes (89 + E.164 calling code, e.g. 8934 Spain, 8901 United States/Canada, 8944 United Kingdom).
- [MCC-MNC lookup & IMSI decoder](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/mcc-mnc-lookup): decode an IMSI into MCC (country), MNC (operator) and MSIN, or search a 3,000+ row table of mobile networks (PLMN codes) by operator name, country or numeric code. Resolves the 2-vs-3-digit MNC ambiguity automatically.
- [IMEI checker](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/imei-checker): validate a device IMEI's Luhn check digit, split it into TAC (Type Allocation Code), serial number and check digit, and identify the GSMA reporting body. Accepts 15-digit IMEI, 16-digit IMEISV and 14-digit bodies (computes the missing check digit).
- [MSISDN decoder](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/msisdn-decoder): normalize any phone number (with +, 00, spaces or dashes) to strict E.164 format, identify the country calling code and split out the national number.
- [IoT data usage calculator](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/iot-data-usage-calculator): estimate monthly data usage (MB per device, GB per fleet) from payload size, messages per day and protocol (UDP, CoAP, MQTT, MQTT-TLS, HTTPS), including keepalive overhead — then compare pay-as-you-go vs data-bundle pricing for that volume.
- [Signal quality interpreter](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/signal-quality-interpreter): convert CSQ (0-31/99) to RSSI in dBm using the 3GPP TS 27.007 formula (RSSI = -113 + 2·CSQ), and turn RSSI, RSRP, RSRQ and SINR into a plain per-metric quality verdict based on the 3GPP TS 36.133 ranges. Answers "csq to dbm" and "what does RSRP/RSRQ mean".
- [AT commands cheat sheet](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/at-command-cheatsheet): a curated reference of the cellular AT commands used to bring up and debug a modem (CREG, CGREG, CEREG, CSQ, CGDCONT, CGAUTH, CIMI, COPS, CFUN…) per 3GPP TS 27.007/27.005, each with a copy-ready snippet, plus a generator that builds AT+CGDCONT from an APN and a decoder for the +CREG/+CEREG registration status value (0-5).
- [APN settings generator](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/apn-settings-generator): from an APN (and optional username, password, authentication and PDP type) it generates the exact configuration for AT commands (AT+CGDCONT / AT+CGAUTH), for ModemManager (an nmcli line) and for the Android APN fields. Answers "iot apn settings".
- [IoT battery life calculator](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/iot-battery-life-calculator): estimate the months/years a battery-powered IoT device lasts from its sleep current (µA), active current (mA), active seconds per cycle, cycles per day, battery capacity (mAh) and a capacity derating, with a duty-cycle and sleep-vs-active charge breakdown. Figures are orientative.
- [LTE / NB-IoT / LTE-M band & EARFCN explorer](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/lte-band-earfcn-calculator): convert a bare EARFCN to its band and uplink/downlink frequency, browse each band's frequency and channel range, and see which bands support NB-IoT and LTE-M, per 3GPP TS 36.101. Answers "earfcn to frequency" and "lte band frequency".
- [eSIM activation code parser (LPA)](https://iot.cards/en/resources/tools/esim-activation-code-parser): parse and validate a GSMA SGP.22 eSIM activation code (LPA:1$SM-DP+ address$AC_Token[$OID][$CC flag]) — extract the SM-DP+ address, matching ID, OID and confirmation-code flag, flag common errors, and rebuild the canonical string and its QR. It validates a code you were given; it does not order or activate profiles.
