Data limits control how much data each SIM assigned to a Fleet can use each billing period, which resets each month on the day the SIM was activated*. The data limit is configured on the Fleet. Learn more about Fleets and data limits.

You can control whether or not your devices can exchange (machine-to-machine SMS) by setting the sms_commands_enabled property on a Fleet, which needs to be set to true to use SMS Commands. By default, you will not be able to create Fleets with SMS Commands enabled.
