# Block roaming for a specific carrier on the advanced console

{% hint style="danger" %}
Warning: Blocking a carrier should be done with caution.&#x20;

If the carrier you block is the only available option, the SIM may write it to the FPLMN (Forbidden networks) list. This can prevent the SIM from reconnecting and may require manual intervention to restore service.
{% endhint %}

1. Open the Advanced Console for the specific Thing from the Hub.

3. Each profile has its own roaming policy. To block a carrier, you must apply the block per profile.
