Just weeks after launching its globally successful handset, Motorola Milestone, the company is planning to introduce multi-number based SIM called iSIM(intelligent SIM) to India. The facility will allow the cellphone users to use up to four numbers in a single set without using more than one SIM.
Let’s get into the details now – Motorola iSIM is a flexible and powerful platform that helps mobile operators and enterprises to enable mobile lifestyle experiences effectively and efficiently. iSIM empowers service providers with ease, flexibility and freedom to implement compelling end-user applications services in a cost-effective manner and to drive adoption. It is based on a flexible wafer that can be attached to the subscriber’s original SIM providing additional services that can be controlled via SIM took kit (STK) allowing third party developers to build applications and services.
Some of the applications enabled by Motorola iSIM platform:
- Multiple IMSI Profiles
- Each iSIM supports upto 4 IMSI profiles. Each IMSI Profile can be provisioned to one phone number.
- Subscriber can switch between different phone numbers provisioned to different networks or same network without changing the SIM cards

- Smart Dialer allows the users making IP phone calls directly without inserting dialing prefix. Users can enjoy IP call or call-back service discount rate anywhere and anytime.
- Secure Enterprise Message
- Encrypted SMS – SMS communications are protected against eavesdropping and message spoofing by the employment of the strong Twofish1 symmetric cypher. Secret keys can be assigned to individual phone numbers. It can have dozens of keys for communication in large enterprises –including secret keys that can be hidden against a user (users then do not know the keys and cannot view them).
- Killer SMS – it is possible to define a special “Killer SMS” that blocks or resets the mobile phone when it is lost or stolen. This makes it impossible to make calls, or otherwise manipulate the phone, when used together with the SIM card PIN and phone locking.
- Alerting SMS – messages display directly on the recipient’s mobile phone. The user can read and reply the message instantly.
