Taisys Welcomes GigSky to the slimduet® Platform


TAIPEI, Taiwan, April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Taisys Technologies, a leading secure mobile solution provider, is pleased to announce the incorporation of GigSky on Taisys' slimduet® platform – a digitalized management and distribution hub of international prepaid plans. GigSky, a leading provider of global data plans and an Apple SIM partner, offers international data plans with coverage spanning 190 countries and data packages of up to 5 GB, a perfect option for users who demand larger data consumption while traveling.
 
"We are extremely pleased to have GigSky as a partner, providing customers the best in quality and cost for mobile connectivity on the go. This collaboration further affirms slimduet's position as a platform for mobile services to be delivered and managed based on eSIM remote provisioning and ensuring a telco-centric eSIM ecosystem," said Jason Ho, Founder and Chairman of Taisys Technologies.
 
Taisys slimduet Platform is one of the first remote SIM provisioning and management platforms developed for consumer devices, initially targeting 'silent roamers' who don't roam on their home operator's SIM while abroad and instead opt for alternative sources to stay connected. The platform serves as an international marketplace for mobile operators to supply and sell prepaid plans, providing end users interoperable and cross-border mobile connectivity of data, voice, and SMS services on demand. Since its launch, over a dozen Tier 1 mobile operators worldwide have joined the platform to provide their local and regional prepaid bundles, with coverage of more than 200 countries. 
 
"GigSky is excited to join the slimduet® marketplace and make GigSky's international data plans available to slimduet® users. Taisys' innovative eSIM marketplace offers customers an outstanding choice of services in nearly every country in the world at fantastic prices. Their commitment to providing excellent value to customers fits perfectly with GigSky's own customer-first approach. We're looking forward to growing this platform and really driving the global adoption of eSIM," noted Ravi Rishy-Maharaj, Founder and CEO of GigSky.
 
slimduet® users can enjoy mobile data plans provided by GigSky starting in August 2017.  The plans are available in 4 pricing tiers, namely $15, $30, $40 and $70. The amount of data provided per tier is dependent on the destination. For example, for Europe and North America, the data provided per tier is 300 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB and 5 GBs – each available for thirty days.
