What is the "Cloud SIM Wifi Device?


The Latest Trend of Travel – “Cloud Sim Pocket Wi-Fi”

Still using the traditional SIM-card-pocket-WiFi when having trips? Pocketwifi introduces you the latest WiFi technology – Cloud Sim Pocket Wi-Fi – featuring SIM-free, Cloud SIM technology requires no local SIM card around the world!


What is “Cloud Sim Pocket Wi-Fi”?

Powered by Cloud Sim technology, it is the world’s first pocket WiFi with no local SIM cards needed around the world, allowing travelers to access the Internet without local SIM cards and roaming charges.


How it works?

Its Cloud SIM technology helps the device to upload a SIM card from the existing database automatically, and this becomes the cloud for communication via data traffic. When user’s location is detected, the cloud will deliver the signals provided by the specific ISP in the area. Hence, users can enjoy the best-ever internet surfing experience.



Pros


1. Provide the best network of the destination

For example, the cloud will select “Softbank” as the ISP since the signal is good in the centre district. However, when users locate to Fuji, the ISP will be changed to “Docomo” accordingly for its stable signal.


2. Best choice for multi-national travel

Traditionally, users are required to change SIM card for each destination when having a multi-national trip. However, Cloud Sim Pocket Wi-Fi can detect user’s location and provide corresponding WiFi signal automatically. It helps to save cost on SIM card purchase.


3. Lower failure rate

There is no solution when the SIM card does not function and users are very likely to spend an extra cost on a new SIM card. With Cloud-Sim-Pocket-Wi-Fi, technical engineers at the cloud back-end will always be here to fix errors during your trip.


4. 4G Data with High Speed

Cloud Sim technology has partnered with the best ISP in the town to ensure a reliable internet network for users. Also, this cost-saving technology provides high-speed 4G data that you can have your Wi-Fi on wherever you are.
