Haier’s Dual SIM on Windows Mobile
We’ve previously talked about the Verzio Duplii and Twinn, one of the more elegant dual SIM solutions to come out in Asia. At CES 2008, we are seeing dual SIM smartphones - like this one from Haier. Although there is already a big advantage in using dual SIM cards for regular phones, having two SIM cards for smartphones offer an additional value - you see, not all mobile phone plans are made the same. Having dual SIMs allows you to choose which number to use for data and for calls. By competence, some carriers usually offer better data plans than free calls and SMS while the other half offer the exact opposite.
Should telcos take this new development into account in the future of brand planning? Telcos have always built their brand around lock in exclusivity which actually get circumvented with unlocking software. I’m not sure how common this was in the US before the proliferation of the iPhone, but in Asia, it was pretty much an open secret. I think telcos should start bending down towards non-exclusive post paid line deals.
