  • Publication number: 20220191279
    Abstract: In an IoT device data management method, an IoT device sends a data report message to a device management server, to report a device identifier of the IoT device and a SIM card identifier of a SIM card in the IoT device. The device management server stores the device identifier and the SIM card identifier, and may further synchronize the device identifier and the SIM card identifier to a connectivity management server. In this way, the device management server establishes and maintains a correspondence between the device identifier of the IoT device and the SIM card identifier.
