Virtual SIM for Mobiles bags Audience Choice Award at Asia Mobile Innovation Awards

UNOS, a Virtual SIM for mobile phones, has been recognised at the recent Mobile Innovation Summit as one of the Top 50 Innovators at the GSMA’s Asia Mobile Innovation Awards.

At the Summit which was held at Macau early this month, UNOS also won the Mobile Monday Audience Choice Award.

UNOS, which came into the market some 7 months ago, enables any mobile phone user a new alternative operator through its Virtual SIM software downloaded to the phone.

FSBM Holdings Berhad (FSBM) first introduced UNOS in April 2007 to the market via its maiden flagship - UNOS Voice. UNOS Voice offers low costs mobile communications, as well as powerful PBX (Private Business Exchange) functionalities - historically only available on fixed devices - on the mobile phone.

“We are thrilled with the number of high-quality entries we received this year for the Asia Mobile Innovation Awards. Our congratulations to UNOS and all the winners and participants for making the awards and the Mobile Innovation Summit in Macau a great success." said Bill Gajda, Chief Commercial Officer of the GSMA.

The Asia Mobile Innovation Awards were created by the GSMA as part of its Mobile Innovation Programme to encourage breakthrough technology, applications and services in the mobile industry by bringing together small and medium-sized companies developing innovative mobile products, industry investors and mobile operators.

“Being recognised as a Top Innovator at the GSMA’s Asia Mobile Innovation Awardsis indeed a notable feat for UNOS. We are very new in the market, and so we take this prestigious acknowledgement to be a further endorsement of our efforts in revolutionizing the mobile phone market,”said Michael Ta, FSBM Multimedia and Communications Group CEO.
