Truphone makes strategic acquisition of SIM4travel assets
I had some inkling that something like this was in the works because I'd caught sight of a new SIM card recently at the VON.x conference in San Jose. Actually, I've already put out feelers to get my hands on a couple of the for testing. I'm hoping that with this announcement being public I'll be able to wheedle some test SIMS from my friends at Truphone.
Mobile internet network operator Truphone has concluded an agreement to purchase the business of SIM4travel by way of an asset purchase agreement.
The purchase means that Truphone will acquire both SIM4travel's travel SIM capability and its Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) platform. Integration of SIM4travel's assets into Truphone's own portfolio will begin immediately and take several months to complete.
