Skyroam, a leading global mobile data technology and service company, has launched the SIMO vSIM app, a revolutionary mobile phone app that gives users instant access to affordable mobile data without physical SIM cards.
Skyroam has received approval from the Ministry of Communication and Information for the Republic of Indonesia for launch of the app in the country.
For its Indonesia launch, Skyroam partnered with Wiko to pre-install the SIMO app onto new Tommy 3 smartphones, so customers can access affordable mobile data without SIMs or carrier plans. Customers power on their phone, open the pre-loaded SIMO app, choose a data package, and connect! The launch of SIMO, expected to be on 200MM phones by 2020, supports large scale internet expansion to millions of Indonesians who are kept in the dark and out of the market today due to expensive internet.
The Skyroam SIMO app helps mobile network operators (MNOs) and mobile virtual networks operators (MVNOs) expand their footprint by significantly reducing cost and time of customer acquisition. Other businesses benefit too, including content providers who will reach new audiences through SIMO’s democratization of data.
Jing Liu, CEO, Skyroam
We are thrilled by the enthusiastic support of the Indonesian people and government. We will partner closely to build new industry standards with the government and local operators. Through our work, SIMO will advance telecommunications in Indonesia and accelerate internet penetration.
