US based Motorola is in talks with all Indian Telecom Service Providers to launch iSIM, a flexible wafer that can be attached to the original SIM providing additional services that can be controlled via SIM tool kit (STK), allowing third-party developers to build applications and services. This allows the user to access three other numbers on the same handset, without even having to buy a multi-SIM.
User can switch between different phone numbers purveyed to different networks or the same network without changing SIMs. Each iSIM supports up to four IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) profiles and each IMSI profile can be purveyed to one phone number.
The unique 15-digit International Mobile Subscriber Identity is found on SIM cards and Motorola iSIM approves four of IMSI numbers.
As Mohanty said “the new application is expected to pick up very fast in Asian markets, since the trend of one person keeping two mobiles is quite popular here. The future of iSIM looks bright as according to research done by Strategy Analytics, dual-SIM phones would capture seven percent of the total mobile phone market by 2014″
Motorola iSIM app was first rolled out in Europe, Middle East and Africa and Bipper iSIM will debut first in Bulgaria and Norway in 2010.
