Nothing is Impossible

Jerry Liao

An end to mobile phone unlocking...

Acquiring a phone from Smart, Globe or Sun and your phone will be locked to their services. Of course this is understandable because these telecom providers subsidize part of your phone’s fee.

For new models of mobile phones, unlocking the phones will be a challenge, but for older models, unlocking softwares are already available so users will be able to use their phones with other services. So do we really have to wait for our mobile phones to get outmoded before we can enjoy a free and unlocked mobile phones? Not anymore.

Today Mobile Solutions Ltd. launch an innovative little device called SIMable, which effectively puts an end to the complicated business of mobile phone unlocking.

SIMable is an ultra thin chip, that when attached to a SIM card, immediately fools most mobile phones into thinking that they have been unlocked. It is compatible with the majority of mobile handsets, including all the latest 3G devices, which are becoming more and more difficult to be freed from their original Network.

Introduced to the market by Essex based company 24/7 Mobile Solutions Ltd, SIMable can be installed and working in a Network locked handset in a matter of seconds. By using a customised manufactured cutting press, which comes with each unit, a tiny hole needs to be pressed out in the SIM card. Next SIMable needs to be aligned with the SIM and inserted into the locked handset. Using the cutting press, SIMable can be used more than once by transferring to any other SIM card.

Whilst mobile phone unlocking is not illegal, it will in most cases invalidate the handset’s warranty. SIMable requires no handset interference and thus the full manufacturer’s guarantee remains intact.

The company are keen to stress that unlike any other similar application on the market, SIMable enables 100% functionality on all phones, including full 3G operation.

The product, available at the company’s website www.SIMable.com is launched at a retail price of £16.99, with a standard small delivery charge covering all destinations worldwide. Each package includes the SIMable chip and customised cutting press, which eliminates any need for messy SIM cutting with scissors.

The company are also seeking global Distributors / Resellers to market the product. SIMable can be "white labelled" meaning that it can be rebranded and sold as their own product. Suitable parties would include Travel SIM Operators, Mobile Phone Accessory Distributors and any online or retail mobile phone unlocking outlets.

Like what I have been saying all along, when it comes to technology - NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

I am logging off. God Bless us all!
