SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Skyroam, the developer of virtual SIM (vSIM) technology that keeps users connected in over 130 countries, today announced it has partnered with BLU Products, a leading smartphone brand in the United States, to launch the revolutionary SIMO mobile data app on the new BLU G90 smartphone. SIMO gives consumers instant access to Skyroam's mobile data network, without needing a hotspot or SIM card.
Unlike most mobile phones which require a physical SIM card or WiFi network to access mobile data, users of the new BLU G90 with SIMO can simply power on their phone, open the pre-loaded SIMO app from the home screen, choose from domestic or international data packages, and connect. The SIMO app uses Skyroam's patented virtual SIM (vSIM) technology on the phone's baseband chip to deliver 4G LTE data via the Skyroam data network, automatically serving the best connection based on the user's location without needing a SIM card or carrier plan.
"We are thrilled to come together on this partnership that will enable more mobile users to seamlessly connect to the best 4G LTE mobile network with improved coverage, faster speed, and more flexible plans whether they're at home or abroad," said Eric Plam, Skyroam President.
The G90, an updated model from the original BLU G9 smartphone, with an added wide angle camera and larger 6.5" display in comparison to the G9's 6.3", includes 64GB of storage space and is powered by a new Mediatek chipset with world-class processing and graphics, making it the perfect phone for everyday photography, entertainment, and gaming. The G90's Triple Cam offers pro-level quality for close-up, low-light, nighttime, and artistic portrait modes, and is loaded with an endless amount of software features for the perfect photo.

The SIMO app first launched in the United States on the BLU G9 phone in September 2019. With over 20,000 phones sold, the response from customers has been extremely positive. These encouraging results have extended the partnership, as SIMO is now pre-loaded onto the home screen of the new BLU G90.
This partnership is an excellent option for customers looking for affordable, fast data without the burden of contracts or SIM cards. SIMO offers flexible solutions with data starting as low as $3 per GB. With no contracts or coverage fees, customers can choose a data plan that gives them more while paying less. Especially in these challenging times, customers expect excellent mobile data at the best prices to stay connected to what matters most, while staying apart.
The BLU G90 device with SIMO will be available on Amazon.com for $129.99!
