16 cents per MB on AT&T 3G network in the USA 

Dear Fellow ITWers,

Soon you will be Chicago bound for ITW 2013.

ITW is time to meet with clients, make new friends and to clinch good deals.

A time of  high expectation, great competition and some surprises.

A surprise  you don’t need is the high cost of Internet access that you need to stay connected while mobile roaming in the USA.

Depending on your country of residence, your home country MNO could be charging you anything from $3 to $20 per MB of data transfer.

We have all heard of horror story of huge expense due to data service used with Blackberry, iPhone, Android Smartphones, iPAD and other Tablets after a short trip in the USA

To avoid such damages, you need to have a PiFi equipped with PiFiSIM  and do your on-line activities in the PiFiZone

In the PiFiZone, you pay US$0.16 per MB for a broadband data service operating on AT&T 3G network

It is Anytime, No Contract, Pay-As-You-Go service.

It gets better, when you download PiFiDialer for use in your iPhone and Android SmartPhone and make voice call over PiFiVoice service

The cost per minute of a voice call to any country from the USA = US$0.04 (for transport of 250 KB of data per minute of VoIP minute) + typical End User Rate for VoIP Call to the country’s dialcode.

Please view complete presentation at www.pifizone.com

You can see that the PiFi Proposition is good for most countries where you want to visit.

You get to enjoy US$0.12 per MB in UK  or US$0.70 – US$0.90 per MB in any country in Europe

You can buy PiFi, PiFiSIM, Data Recharge and PiFiVoice Recharge on line at www.pifizone.com  and pick up the PiFi+PiFiSIM  Package at our Stand No. 1444  in ITW 2013 on May 13, 2013

Caption: IntelliDR Network – an Intelligent Network for Direct Routes for Call Termination

Ecocarrier will introduce at ITEXPO East 2013 their IntelliDR Network and invite suitably positioned individual entrepreneurs or corporations in various target countries to join the managed network as strategic partners.

Today IntelliDR Network has points of presence (PoP) in some 15 countries including Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Morocco, Libya, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Sudan and carries in excess of 25 million minutes of call traffic monthly for call termination on the direct routes for wholesale carrier service.

IntelliDR Networks is growing rapidly both in capacity for handling increasingly larger volume of call traffic and greater coverage countries.

Great prospects exist for building Direct Routes in Africa, Caribbean countries, Central America and Oceania.

Ecocarrier will undertake to build the Direct Routes, managed the PoP and direct wholesale call traffic to the PoPs for call termination. The strategic partner needs only to carry out a routine set of duties to maintain the PoP and profits from the operation of IntelliDR Network as a business enterprise in providing low-cost, high quality, reliable call termination service for wholes carrier service .

Investment required is minimal as IntelliDR Network is designed to operate as part of an established private cloud computing network in a managed service model. The PoP consists of an IntelliDR gateway connected to the Internet and the local mobile network in the country of operation.

IntelliDR Network is implemented with powerful features for intelligent call switching and call routing in the most effective and efficient manner.

It is a solution designed to achieve the most economical way of doing direct route operation.

It is a strategic alliance between suitably qualified parties and Ecocarrier in:

• building the PoPs for call termination by direct routes in select countries with local personnel
• managing the operation of the PoPs with the intelligent interaction between the VoIP/GSM Gateways and the SIM Bank and Policy Server in a cloud computing P-a-a-S service model  to ensure the highest level of reliability and service quality
• exploiting the available capacity for call termination of the PoPs with effective placement of wholesale carrier call traffic through Ecocarrier’s service platform; Ecocarrier can effectively market, sell and use up the capacity to ensure a profitable operation of the individual PoP.

IntelliDR Network can be built modularly with the following modules for progressively more functionality and greater performance and capacity

• IntelliDR VoIP/GSM Gateway  which is managed with Policy Server that works in tandem with Ecocarrier’s service platform that is able to handle wholesale carrier service traffic directed at/to it (service platform) from various sources such that it can effectively prevent the hacker/ spammer attack traffic from reaching the PoPs.

• IntelliDR SIM Bank & SIM Server that interoperate with IntelliDR VoIP/GSM and Ecocarrier Service Platform to enable and allow for
  • Intelligent channel SIM selection
  • Intelligent GSM channel selection / IMEI management for making the call to the dialed Destination Number locally in the country.

• IntelliDR Bandwidth Saver that interoperates with IntelliDR VoIP/GSM Gateway, the local ISP providing bandwidth to the IntelliDR VoIP/GSM Gateway and Ecocarrier Service Platform to do transmission with special encrypted codec and bytes/bandwidth saving algorithm to reduce the bandwidth requirement by some 50% – resulting in a huge saving in the fixed cost that is paid for ISP service.

We will be attending the ITEXPO in Miami between Jan 30 – Feb 2, 2013 http://itexpo.tmcnet.com/east13/

1. What is the most significant technology trend impacting the way businesses conduct operations today?
[CT] It is Mobile Connectedness and its increasingly ubiquitous availability. Technology and network facility becoming available for use in an ever more extensive reach and coverage ; reach into all manners of business activities and all kinds of business operations and country and geographical coverage.

2. How is cloud computing changing the way you operate your business?
[CT] Cloud computing makes things affordable for all business. You can now avail yourself of the most power suite of software for professional graphic and video creation for use in your MAC for as little cost as $30 a month service fee in a cloud computing service model.

3. Have security concerns around cloud computing been effectively addressed by the market, or is security still impediment to adoption?
[CT] Reasonable level of security is available with cloud computing. Building better security is an evolving process that involves the participation of hackers to stress-test the security in place for use. I don’t think it is an impediment to the adoption of cloud computing-based services by the user public.

4. How has the unprecedented growth of social media changed the way you manage your customers?
[CT] In many ways, it has to do with “What’s the best way to reach out to your customers ?” We have to be with it in order to keep up with the competitions and the new players in our space.

5. “Customer Experience” has become buzzword and 2013 may well become characterized as the Year of Customer Experience. What is your business doing to improve your customers’ experiences?
[CT] Mainly through social media and the blogosphere.

6. Keeping in mind that BYOD is now pervasive and no longer a phenomenon, will BYOD heavily influence your business in 2013 (whether from a security, policy or device or app management perspective) or have we moved beyond BYOD?

[CT] No it would not. We would encourage BYOD as all our services are offered in a managed service model. We try not to have to handle any hardware device. Today it is reasonable to expect that most, if not all, the hardware devices in the market are reasonably well built and made in compliance to industry specifications and protocols.

7. BYOS – Bring Your Own Storage (or rather, Bring Your Own Cloud-based Storage) – and dealing with it may, in fact, now be the new major issue most enterprises and solutions providers need to deal with. Is your company prepared to deal with it, either at the carrier level or through independent vendors?
[CT] As a managed service provider offering all services on-line, all storage of data relative to the relationships and transactions that we have with our clients are available in storage on line and on demand by our clients in our web-servers.

8. Should enterprises look to pre-empt BYOS issues by moving to carefully controlled cloud storage in 2013?

[CT] This is what we do in effect as ours is very much a private cloud-based operation. (see 7.)

9. Unified Communications and VoIP have moved beyond the early adopter phase into the mainstream. What significant issues still remain that businesses must contend with as they determine when and how to migrate to IP-based communications?
[CT] In the case of the large companies, it’s cash flow. In the case of small business it is lack of knowledge, in-house expertise and cash flow.

10. Will 2013 be the year the laptop dies? Why or why not?
[CT] It does look likely that laptops will go into the history book sooner or later but may be not in 2013.

11. What impact will Widows 8 have on the mobile market? Can it be a real competitor to iOS and Android? Where does RIM fit into the landscape?
[CT] With Microsoft’s clout in distribution, Windows 8 may still be able to gain a significant share of the market. RIM’s prospects are confined to some countries where they have already a large customer base.

12. Will 2013 finally bring widespread video communications adoption? Why?

[CT] Because all the tools are readily available at affordable prices including cloud-based-offer pricing and you can now engage reasonably good people to do video creation and production for a small expense.

13. What is the most disruptive technology that will hit mainstream markets this year and why?
[CT] 3-D Printer. People are now even working on printer that will print human body parts for use in human transplants.

14. What is the one misconception you would like to see set straight in the technology markets?
[CT] The misconception: “ Money is the root of all evils”.
It should be “The love of money is the root of all evils”
One should read the book “How Much is Enough?” by Skidelsky, Robert Jacob Alexander

15. What are you most looking forward to at ITEXPO Miami 2013?
{CT} We look forward to meeting suitably-positioned individuals or corporations to discuss the opportunities and benefits our various business propositions, notably:

RoamFone Rental Service and SuperSIM service for the Business or Leisure Travelers

Savings of up to 85% on all roaming international calls

Specially designed for offer and provision through Travel Agency, Car Rental Agency and Hospitality Places

Excellent Service at Great Savings, When You Need It !

Ecocarrier Inc. will present at CeBIT 2011 RoamFone Rental Service ( www.roamfonerental.com ) which is based on SuperSIM SIM Card and SuperSIM Service ( www.multisupersim.com )

RoamFone Rental Service caters to the needs of GSM mobile users when they travel abroad away from the home country mobile network in any of some 200 countries for a convenient, reliable, high quality, affordable, low-cost way of making and receiving telephone calls

RoamFone Rental Service addresses a market niche in ways that result in great benefits to all parties concerned: the End User (Service Subscriber), the Travel Agent, the Master Travel Agent and the Service Provider (Ecocarrier); there is sufficient profit margin to allow for a fair and attractive sharing of the profits in the food chain.

The over all profit margin for the resellers (Master Travel Agent and the Travel Agent) ranges from 35% – 50% of the prices/rates paid by the End Users which are some 55% – 85% lower than the rates charged by the MNO (Mobile Network Operator) for roaming calls.

Excellence in Concept, Design, Service and Business Model

(a)Complete on-line operation that requires little or no special training/learning on the part of the Travel Agent. www.roamfonerental.com enables all the operations covering opening a rental contract, invoicing, credit top up, final billing, closing of a rental contract and payment processing etc. to be performed on-line by the Travel Agent by making keystrokes into the Roamfone Rental Program software. All the Travel Agent needs is the ability to operate a browser on line in an intuitive manner.

(b)Complete Management Facility is available to the Master Travel and/or the Master Reseller on line for obtaining Call Data, Billing Data, Account Information in a highly efficient manner for administration and management purposes.

(c)No investment in system hardware and little investment in RoamFone (depending on the business arrangement between Ecocarrier and the Travel Agent). Ordinarily, the Travel Agent needs only to have the use a PC installed with a browser (Internet Explorer).Where required, Ecocarrier offers API to the Master Travel Agent for integration of the Calls Data, Billing Data and Account Information etc. with the Master Travel Agent/Reseller’ own accounting data base.

(d)High quality reliable phone call termination service.All calls are switched and routed through premium service routes. Ecocarrier is a Canadian licensed operator for international telephone service provision to resellers of Ecocarrier’s managed (retail) services in more than 75 countries worldwide and to carriers for wholesale call termination services, Currently Ecocarrier handles more than 40 million minutes of call traffic monthly.

(e)RoamFone Rental Service as part of Ecocarrier’s telephone services is provided with customer and technical support from Ecocarrier’s Network Operation Centers across various time zones 24x7x365

Excellence in Technology and Service System

(a)RoamFone Rental Service is equipped with SuperSIM card and SuperSIM service. SuperSIM is a 3G (64K) Multi-IMSI-SIM that has embedded in it profiles of multiple MNO. The SIM automatically switches the appropriate profiles for use when it is roaming in a certain country.

(b)SuperSIM is supported by GSM roaming agreement with more than 500 GSM operators in some 200 countries covering all the countries where one would want to visit for business or leisure. There is no need to change SIM when roaming in any of the MNO networks and the connection to the MNO is automatically made in any of the 200 countries.

(c)Making a call using RoamFone(installed with SuperSIM) is as easy as dialing or sending

+ < telephone number including country code >

All call making and receiving operation by SuperSIM is carried in a manner that is transparent to the user by Ecocarrier’s service platform working in conjunction with the global GSM network

·Receiving calls in some 70 countries is free of charge.

·connection to certain MNO network that applies large Mobile Termination Charge can be selectively blocked as an effective means of achieving optimal savings

(d)SuperSIM service is enhanced with unique call handling operation to ensure that it is able to always achieve the low-rates for making a telephone call or for receiving an incoming call including making and receiving calls in a hotel room in any of the 200 countries.

SuperSIM works with USSD signaling for triggering a “Call Party A and then Call Party B and then Connect the 2 Parties” operation for call making a call.The Connection or bridging of the 2 legs of a Call is made in Ecocarrier’s Service Platform to enable a telephone conversation.

In “Call Party A and then Call Party B and then Connect the 2 Parties” mode of operation, the Party A may be the telephone number of a local fixed line telephone (as in the case of a hotel room phone) or a local SIM in a dual-SIM mobile handset and the Party B is the Destination Number(i.e. the telephone number of the party to be called). Note that receiving a call with a local SIM in most countries isFREE and receiving calls with a fixed line telephone is FREE in all countries.In using thie mode of operation, the user can avoid paying Mobile Termination Charge when roaming in MNO network that imposes a Mobile Termination Charge.

The call is dialed or sent as

+< Telephone No.of fixed line phone or local SIM >*< Destination Number >

for further additional calls, the call can be dialed simply as

+< Destination Number >

All call making and call receiving are carried out by/through Ecocarrier’s service platform working in conjunction with the global GSM network

(e)Special mode of operation when making calls in a hotel room

In the case of making call in a hotel room , the dialing format is

+< Telephone No. of the hotel >*< hotel room no. >*< Destination Number >

for further additional calls, the call can be dialed simply as

+< Destination Number >

Upon receiving the signaling, Ecocarrier SuperSIM Service Platform will call the hotel telephone no. and when the hotel telephone operator answers the call, the Service Platform will voice the following call routing request:

“ Please connect this call to < hotel room no. > for < name of the user > “

Note that the name of the user is pre-recorded and stored in the Service Platform, whereas the hotel room no. may vary according to the ‘values entered in the trigger message

+< Telephone No. of the hotel >*< hotel room no. >*< Destination Number >

This facility is a great cost savings feature because ordinarily making calls from a hotel room telephone is expensive even for local call in most countries.

(f)Alias Telephone Number toMSISDN (the regular mobile number of the SIM)

Alias telephone number can be assigned to the SuperSIM in the RoamFone to suit the country of operation of the Travel Agent.

The Alias telephone number is a DID (Direct Inward Dial) number of the local telephone exchange.

Before the user travels abroad to a country where receiving an incoming call to the SuperSIM is FREE or at low cost, he/she will arrange to forward all calls dialed to his/her fixed line telephone number and local mobile number to this Alias.

DID Numbers for such Alias application are available for some 500 cities of 65 countries.

Each Alias Telephone Number is quarantined for a period of 30 days after each rental contract to a rental customer before being put back into the pool of available DID Numbers for use by RoamFone Rental Service.

Prepaid Card for Airtime Credit Transfer Service

Gift-to-Call Card™

-offering great convenience and savings

Airtime Credit Transfer Service is fast becoming popular among the migrant and expatriate communities in industrialized countries for one to send a small gift (usually $5 to $10) of love or care to loved ones back home in old country in the form of an Airtime Credit Amount to the recipient’s mobile number account. The recipient is notified of the credit amount by the mobile operator the instant when it arrives and he/she can use it to call the sender or anyone else.

This way of gifting is immediate and gives instant gratification.

This TopUp360 Gift-to-Call ™ Service also has the advantage of achieving savings of 50% or greater. For instance, a call from Haiti to USA or Canada costs less than 50% of what it costs to call from USA/Canada to Haiti. The same is true with Guatemala and Jamaica and many other countries.

TopUp360 have made a good thing better. They have introduced a Prepaid Card for Airtime Credit Transfer Service named Gift-to-Call Card™ that is available in $5, $10 and $15 version.

You can buy Gift-to-Call Card™ of a certain credit amount and use part of it at a time to send as small gift of airtime credit to someone’s mobile number account in some 72 countries by simply sending a text message in a certain pre-defined format that includes the PIN (you get this from the Card), the credit amount you want to gift and the recipient’s mobile number.
