Multi IMSI.
SIM-based automatic solution for multiple subscriptions (IMSIs) usage on the same physical SIM card.
The Multi IMSI solution addresses the operators’ needs to offer their subscribers access to roaming services offered by the Roaming Sponsors or Brokers or distinct accounts (business/ private, prepaid/postpaid) of the same operator.
This solution is used to switch between the identities of the SIM using just one card. The Multi IMSI allows switching between up to usually 10 identities of the SIM using a single card and a single IMSI registered at a time.
Via the Multi IMSI solution, the customer will have one single SIM card while enjoying the possibility to swap between multiple accounts.
