KUCHING (May 31): Sarawak-based Cloud Telecom has launched its pioneering mobile application, eSIMM ROAM, at the Sarawak Trade and Tourism Office Singapore (Statos), introducing a transformative solution to the long-standing challenges of international mobile roaming.
The app, powered by advanced eSIM (embedded SIM) technology, aims to redefine how users stay connected worldwide.
'With the app, there will be no more sky-high bills, no more physical SIM cards, and no more connectivity headaches for globetrotters and completely transform how users stay connected while traveling the world,' said Statos in a statement.
Sarawak's first global app-based eSIM provider delivers instant mobile connectivity in over 140 countries, including destinations across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, with plans to reach 180 countries soon.
Cloud Telecom anticipates that eSIM technology will eventually replace traditional roaming due to its speed, reliability, transparency, and user-friendliness.
The technology enables users to activate international data plans with just a few taps, eliminating the need for local SIM cards or dealing with unexpected charges.
'This market trend is a complete shift of paradigm, not only inevitable but irreversible,' it said, adding that the app was designed to meet the rising global demand for seamless and cost-effective mobile solutions.
The eSIMM ROAM is tailored for both consumer and small-to-medium enterprise (SMEs), offering a scalable, future-proof solution that supports real-time roaming resolution via 24/7 call centre assistance, data usage tracking, and instant top-ups – all within one platform.
By eliminating the need for physical SIM cards, the app also delivers unmatched flexibility.
Users can browse, purchase, install, and activate plans directly through the app, which is accessible via the App Store and Google Play, including in China.
According to Cloud Telecom vice-president Frank Hwong, over 40 million users globally transitioned from traditional roaming to eSIM last year alone.
'By the end of 2025, we estimate that one to two billion smartphones worldwide will support eSIM technology,' he said, noting a projected exponential growth in adoption.
The app is positioned as a one-stop solution for managing overseas communication, revolutionising how travellers and businesses maintain global connectivity.
Cloud Telecom is currently recruiting international partners, including SMEs, influencers, and individuals to join its 'Channel Partner Programme' and capitalise on the growing demand for eSIM technology. Cloud Telecom eSIMM ROAM lead Statos
