New Cost-Effective Global Prepaid Mobile SIM
Card Enables Crew Members to Stay Connected Via Social Apps
Speedcast International Limited (ASX: SDA), the world’s most
trusted provider of highly reliable, fully managed, remote
communication and IT solutions, announced the release of CrewReach,
a new global prepaid mobile SIM card designed with crew members in
mind. Powered by a Multi-IMSI global network, CrewReach provides
cost-effective access to 4G and 3G data.
“Weeks and months at sea without being connected to family and
friends can lead to feelings of isolation and depression for the
thousands of commercial maritime sailors who are responsible for
the transportation of goods around the globe,” said Dan Rooney,
commercial maritime product director, Speedcast. “CrewReach
provides cost-effective prepaid mobile data access to terrestrial
mobile networks, enabling crew to reach out via social apps and
reducing isolation from their families and friends. CrewReach also
gives subscribers a limited amount of free access to the popular
chat apps WhatsApp® and WeChat®, making social connectivity even
more cost-effective.”
CrewReach is available for all unlocked smartphones and is
managed via a mobile app (available for iOS and Android devices).
The mobile app puts subscribers in complete control of their
spending, showing data costs in each country and the amount of data
consumed. Sailors can purchase additional credit either via a
credit card or prepaid voucher.
