How Does The Skyroam Hotspot Work?
Skyroam delivers a local carrier experience without the hassle or expense of roaming fees using a very cool technology called Virtual SIM.
A normal SIM card contains your personal information and gets locked to a particular cellular carrier when your phone is first activated. If you want to use a different cellular carrier after you activate your phone (like when you are traveling), you are out of luck unless you change your SIM card or pay high roaming charges to use a different cellular network.
Skyroam hotspot's Virtual SIM technology can connect to dozens of different cellular networks in 100+ countries. When you travel, Skyroam hotspot's Virtual SIM makes a query to find out what country it is in. It then connects to our server, which remotely delivers new SIM information to the Virtual SIM, allowing Skyroam to connect to local cellular networks.
And you never even have to change your SIM card!
