## Step 2: Open the Report

You can open the CSV file in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet viewer.\
Each row represents one line of usage data for a SIM (ICCID) on a specific IMSI and operator (carrier).

## Step 3: How to Read Totals

#### Multiple Rows per ICCID

A single ICCID may appear on multiple rows in the billing report.\
This is because each row represents usage per IMSI and per carrier.\
This is normal and expected behavior.

<figure><img src="https://3922449203-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-M0mPxGpottOEfcucXOR%2Fuploads%2FjmLqx7VqVGBRGdH9m6cm%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=01ec2b80-f2dd-42d3-92ff-d52e7f822108" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Finding the Total Per SIM

To find the final total for a SIM, look for the last row of that ICCID — it will show “Total” under the Operator column.\
This row combines all data usage, SMS, and costs for that SIM across all IMSIs and carriers.

#### Overall Account Totals

At the very bottom right of the report, you’ll find the grand totals for the entire billing period — including overall data, SMS, access fees, subscription fees, and costs for all SIMs in the account,

## Step 5: Quick Reference

* ICCID (D/E): Identifies the SIM.
* IMSI (H): Identifies which Monogoto profile/identity was used.
* Operator (I): Shows the carrier — multiple rows per SIM are expected.
* Data (L): Your actual data usage in MB.
* Signaling (J): “+” means the SIM was active this month.
* Access (O) + Sub (P): Flat fees added to the total.
