SIM Cards & Data Plans

SIM card is a small electronic device inserted into mobile phones that contains subscriber information and enables access to mobile network services. Data plans, on the other hand, are subscription packages offered by mobile operators that provide users with allocated data allowances for internet access on their devices.

Why CityKinect?

Reliability

CityKinect Cellular provides greater reliability than you can achieve with a cellular service from any one particular telecommunications provider.

  • Hardware is pre-tested with cellular service before shipping.
  • Static IPs available.
  • Intuitive UI provides better support for troubleshooting.
  • Multi-carrier coverage and auto-rollover to contingency networks.
  • Manufacturers control full hardware and cellular transport technology stack.
  • Cross-border coverage.

Reduced Costs

Our data plans offer several opportunities to dramatically reduce your costs if you’re using a service from any of the big telcos.

  • Priced specifically for low-bandwidth IoT applications. You don’t need the same speed and bandwidth as a service intended for smartphones, so why pay for it?
  • Pooling across all SIM cards for cost optimization.
  • Suspend billing during off-season periods when service is not needed.
  • No support calls from customers trying to get their service working with your hardware. Cellular service is sold WITH the equipment with a single APN that works across multiple networks.

New Revenue Opportunities

If you sell cellular-enabled IoT devices, you can benefit from new revenue streams available when you resell CityKinect Cellular along with them.

  • Apply any markup to the cellular service you provide your customers.
  • Whitelabel opportunities available.
  • Recurring revenue coming to you rather than a big telecommunications company.
  • Better customer stickiness.
