ComfortWay Announces Multicarrier SIM on iPhone 5 & 6 for All-Day Data Roaming in 100+ countries

ComfortWay, makers of the ComfortWay Roaming Free device, has developed and deployed a Multicarrier SIM technology and Cloud Billing platform that provides travelers with international data roaming in 100+ countries at local rates. ComfortWay is now incorporating its proven technology into an extended battery case for iPhone (News - Alert) 5/6, and today announced the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to take pre-orders for the 'ComfortWay Travel Case.'

"We've been selling our technology in Europe since 2012 in mobile Internet routers, and now we are licensing it to embed into an extended battery case designed for iPhones," said Oleg Pravdin, founder and CEO of ComfortWay. "Apple's (News - Alert) recent announcement of their 'Apple SIM' has finally put the spotlight on multicarrier SIM technology, but unlike Apple our ComfortWay Travel Cae will work with more than 100 mobile operator networks and our solution supports iPhone 5 and iPhone 6."

ComfortWay Travel Case includes a 2400 mAh battery case that has ComfortWay's proprietary Virtual SIM hardware embedded. ComfortWay already works with 54 mobile operator networks and will soon expand to 100+ mobile operators in 100 countries.

90% Cost Savings

ComfortWay offers "pay-as-you-go" international data roaming from $10 to $20 per GB with no monthly plans and no contracts - that is approximately 10 times lower compared to AT&T's Passport Data ($150 per GB) and Verizon's (News - Alert) Global Data ($250 per GB). Moreover, ComfortWay's data credits never expire.

How it Works

To get global data roaming, users purchase the ComfortWay Travel Case and download ComfortWay's free mobile app for iOS. When they arrive in a foreign country, they just snap their iPhone into the case, click 'Start Mobile Internet' on the app and enjoy mobile Internet at local rates. Via the app, users can purchase 'pay-as-you-go' data at 2 cents per MB, $20 per GB, or get All-Day Data for $2 per day (includes 200 MB per day at HSPA+ speeds and thereafter unlimited data at 128 Kbit/s).

ComfortWay Travel Case connects to the iPhone via a low-power Wi-Fi signal, so VoIP apps can be used to make voice calls and users can keep their regular phone number anywhere in the world. ComfortWay Travel Case can also be used as a mobile Wi-Fi 'hotspot' for up to 10 simultaneous users.

About ComfortWay

ComfortWay was founded in 2012 by Oleg Pravdin, after a business trip to Europe and Asia left him with a $5000 data roaming charge on his mobile phone bill. The experience inspired Oleg and his team to perfect a multicarrier Virtual SIM technology and Cloud Billing platform that delivers mobile data at local rates around the world.

ComfortWay is now a multinational team with offices in the USA, Europe and China, and its Roaming Free mobile devices currently operate in 30 countries and are being sold in major airports throughout Europe. Partnership with popular booking systems like Booking.com, Excursiopedia.com, HRS.com, Hotel.info and others provides Free Mobile Internet after booking of a hotel or another travel activity.
