# Request removing a SIM card public IP

`POST /sim_cards/{id}/actions/remove_public_ip`

This API removes an existing public IP from a SIM card. <br/><br/>
 The API will trigger an asynchronous operation called a SIM Card Action. The status of the SIM Card Action can be followed through the [List SIM Card Action](https://developers.telnyx.com/api-reference/sim-card-actions/list-sim-card-actions) API.
