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 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.
