A Revolution in SIM Privacy - Ready SIM Relaunches as ZIP SIM - First Self-Activating, Private, Insta

SEATTLE - April 14, 2016 - PRLog -- Otono announced today it has changed the name of its Ready SIM patented self-activating wireless service to ZIP SIM https://www.zipsim.us/ as part of an increased focus on ease of activation and customer privacy. The name change reflects a strategic shift to focus on the product's main attribute, which is quick service activation through the company's patented self-activation process. Simply insert the SIM, send a text message to 7850 with your U.S. zip code to instantly activate the SIM, and you will be assigned a local phone number and start the plan right away. There is never a need to activate the service through a dealer, website, or customer service representative. With the relaunch, ZIP SIM now offers the ability to change phone numbers twice after initial activation, as well as an enhanced focus on convenience and privacy. In addition, from now until April 30th, Otono is offering a 30% off Relaunch Promo Discount by using the code "ZIPSIM30" at check-out.

An Award-Winning Revolution in SIM Privacy & Protection of Personal Information - "Best Plan for Short Visits" - PC Magazine

The launch of Ready SIM in 2013 was heralded as a revolution in SIM privacy and ease of use. It was quickly adopted by the market and received the prestigious Fierce15 Award from FierceWireless as a market disruptor and was named "Best Plan for Short Visits" by PC Magazine. Ars Techica said, "I've never seen a simpler and quicker mobile phone setup." The product saw tremendous adoption from a wide variety of customer groups, driving the demand for instant self-activating cellular service well beyond the expected initial target market.

In the current privacy sensitive environment, ZIP SIM provides a unique and robust solution. "Both corporations and individuals alike initially flocked to Ready SIM for the ease of activation, but were surprised and excited by the security and privacy included. As such, we will continue to put customer privacy at the core of our business while being 100% compliant with government regulations for the wireless industry," said Oren Chervinsky, VP Global Sales & Marketing for Otono.
