Do I provide the SIM?

UPDATE: YOU CAN SELECT A NEW SIM FROM THE SIM HOSTING PAGE ON THE PORTAL.

Yes. Clients must ensure the SIM card remains ‘in-credit’ and any other operator terms are met to ensure the SIM remains active. You can terminate your hosting at any time a request for your SIM.

Reliability

We provide 99.99% service availability. Hardware based SIM hosting is reliant on three things; IP connectivity, power and local cell tower signal. While we can’t influence the latter, we have both backup IP connectivity and power.

Our SIM Hosting service provides a level of service which is very reliable.

Can I Receive Calls?

Yes. You can setup ‘call forwarding’ – this setup and any costs incurred would be between you and your network, and should be configured before sending your SIM card to us.

You escaped being billed for the calls by subscribing to “Forward to Skype” service.

Can I send SMS?

You can send SMS to most countries using the SIM card number as your source address (sender ID); this is what is shown when the message arrives on a handset. The beautiful part is that your clients can easily reply via the phone number.

You can send SMS via the SIM card and you will be billed at the operator rate. You can push the messages via any of our interfaces which include HTTP REST, Email to SMS or directly from the website just paying for the messages you send.

How do the Inbound SMS get to me?

When any inbound messages are received by your SIM, our server will pass these to you without delay by your chosen method. The methods available are

Rerouted to another phone number as SMS
Send to your PUSH API URL.
View directly from the website
Forward to an email address

SIM Hosting API

You can interact with the SIM server via the API giving you the platform to get things done easily.

SIM Hosting Setup Process

SIM hosting set up process is very simple. It involves the following:

Complete setup form and process
Agree to the terms and conditions
Send SIM to us
Complete payment
Setup begins

When the process is complete (normally within 24 hours) the SIM card is securely stored, and can be returned if required when you no longer need our Virtual SIM hosting service.

Termination of Service

If you no longer require the service, you send request for service termination and once the processes are completed, your SIM will be returned to you.
