1GLOBAL and Odido Redefine On-Demand 5G Connectivity With SimWallet

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- 1GLOBAL, a technology-driven global mobile communications provider, has partnered with leading Dutch mobile operator Odido to power the launch of SimWallet, a standalone mobile app for eSIM connectivity. SimWallet was introduced into the Dutch market in April this year. It provides near-instant access to Odido’s 5G network in the Netherlands and can be used by anyone, regardless of whether they are an Odido customer.

Once installed, users can connect to Odido’s state-of-the-art 5G network for unlimited internet for 24 hours, multiple days or up to 30 days, enjoying fixed low rates that work on their smartphone, tablet, laptop or any eSIM-capable device.

Rapid integration with intelligent API technology

SimWallet utilizes 1GLOBAL’s API technology, which is directly integrated into the Odido network. By utilizing a multi-IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) architecture, 1GLOBAL can dynamically allocate IMSIs to users on demand, enabling seamless eSIM provisioning and connectivity activation. This integration ensures that customers that use SimWallet can do so without consuming any of their paid data, making pricing clearer and more affordable for customers.

Odido’s SimWallet app launched four weeks after initial API integration began, showcasing 1GLOBAL’s ability to empower mobile network operators and digital-first businesses so they can implement go-to-market strategies quickly, accurately, and securely.

“What drives Odido to innovate is our commitment to breaking industry conventions on behalf of customers,” said Tisha van Lammeren, Chief Commercial Officer Mass Market at Odido. “Our new SimWallet app does just that, and it is thanks to our technology partner 1GLOBAL that we are able to offer truly on-demand 5G access, seamlessly."

“At 1GLOBAL, we are always excited to be innovative and deliver new pathways to customer connectivity,” said Hakan Koç, Founder and CEO of 1GLOBAL. “The Odido SimWallet is one of the solutions that showcase our key position to meet the rising demand for temporary but immediate 5G access. Our advanced API technology enables clients like Odido to offer frictionless, on-brand eSIMs that keep their customers connected and engaged, helping them unlock high-margin, recurring revenue streams.”
