Mobile Vending Machines at the Airport. Will it Work?

Filed in archive Mobile Technologies by leo on November 09, 2007

Mobile phones are certainly everywhere. Telecom and cellular services provider 011 Mobile now sells mobile phones and SIM cards via touch screen vending system at the Terminal 2 of Las Vegas' McCarran Airport.

Designed like a giant cellphone, it is specifically intended for international travelers looking for cheaper alternative to make calls compared with other pre-paid calling cards and paying roaming charges. The company claims its rates are similar to landline calls.

Based on its initial performance, SIM cards contributed 60% of the sales. Both SIM card and mobile phones work immediately upon purchase and consumers can use their credit cards to buy time.

However, this channel may not survive over the long run given the rapid developments in the mobile Internet. Why change your SIM card or buy a new phone if you can download a software like cellity worldCALL to make cheap long distance calls?
