What is the difference between sandbox and production?
Sandbox uses test carriers and test ICCIDs. Production hits real Tier-1 networks. API surface is identical; only the base URL and credentials change.
The short answer
The API surface is identical. Only the base URL, credentials, and carriers differ.
| Sandbox | Production | |
|---|---|---|
| Base URL | | |
| Carriers | Test SIM profiles | Real Tier-1 carriers |
| ICCIDs | Test range | Real GSMA-assigned |
| Billing | 50 EUR free credit | Real money |
| QR codes | Scannable, no data | Activate on real devices |
What works the same
Try it yourself
Free sandbox. Real Tier-1 carriers. 60 seconds from signup to credentials.
Get started →- Endpoints, request/response shapes, status codes, rate limits
- OAuth2 flow and token lifetime
- Webhook payloads and signature verification
- Idempotency-Key behavior
What to watch
Test ICCIDs returned by sandbox will not activate on a real device. They are real-looking 19-20 digit strings, but they map to a test profile. Do not pass them to a customer.
Switch to production by swapping the base URL and credentials. No code changes beyond that.
