WSIS Prizes Contest 2023 Nominee

Better connection for everyone


Description

Imagine, with one-click you can travel the world with a single SIM-Card, with no tedious technical setup.

Imagine that with just one SIM-Card and one click you can get the best rate for calls and internet in any country in the world, with no extra roaming charge.

Imagine, with one-click you get new identity (IMSI,MSISN)  with no need to change your SIM-Card 

Imagine you are in a jungle or a desert and there is no signal, and suddenly, with one click your phone can connect to any available mobile network.

Imagine if your phone or SIM-Card is lost or stolen, and in one click, a new SIM-Card is delivered to you with all your contacts and SMS’s conversation history.

Imagine you have lost your phone and you still can reach your contacts and call them through cloud with the same features as your phone.

Imagine, with one-click you can contribute in opening up the isolated areas and poor villages by giving them the opportunity to access information for a better life. 

Imagine this one-click become true with us


We are Universal Mobile, an Algerian startup that combines MVNO,MVNE and MNO philosophy, in order to achieve the imagined click.
