Sun Cellular taps leading SIM supplier

Sun Cellular has partnered with SchlumbergerSema for its SIM card and SIM browser portal requirements.

The use of SchlumbergerSema technology will enhance Sun Cellular’s ability to increase the number of SIM-based services for its subscribers.

"Sun Cellular subscribers will be treated to a variety of options that can be assessed through their advanced-technology SIM cards – whether for information, entertainment, gaming, m-commerce and the like," said Annie Naval, Digitel GSM’s vice president for marketing.

This technology will provide Sun Cellular subscribers with a real-time access channel to the latest offerings, she said.

This cutting-edge technology makes it a breeze for a typical mobile user to get fast access to the latest services, without overly worrying about the complex how-to’s.

The technology is just there – inside the advanced compact SIM card – for all the services that the subscriber wants to access anytime.

Mobile phone subscribers will be amazed by the variety of options they can find in their mobile phones once they start using their Sun Cellular units.
