Technology: DICODA introduces Multi-IMS
Any call or sms to your local mobile number will now be delivered to you no matter which country you are in.
KARACHI:
DICODA has developed a multi-IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) platform that will enable Pakistani MNOs (mobile network operator) to offer an amazing service to their clients enabling them multiple identities on a single sim card and moreover the user can automatically switch them when the handset enters a new country. Any call or sms to your local mobile number will now be delivered to you no matter which country you are in and whichever number you are using. This allows a user hiving an active UK or US number, to keep both his numbers active along with his local number. Your friends and family can call you from UK or US on that assigned number even if you are in Pakistan and pay costs of a local call. The end-user has reduced roaming costs, allowing cheaper calls for the people in foreign lands to contact.
