Geekery 27 January 2009 | 4 Comments

MAXRoam and Dopplr have come together like a pair of teenagers and given the world a new baby – the Dopplr SIM. Dopplr launched a new store yesterday with a host of products that aim to save money for it’s members. The new Dopplr-branded SIM powered by MAXRoam will be on sale in the new store.

Blurb on the savings, the MAXRoam Dopplr SIM will give travelers:

Speaking about the partnership, Cubic Telecom’s CEO Pat Phelan stated “We’re delighted to be working with Dopplr. MaxRoam’s  SIM card will enable Dopplr travelers to save a minimum of 70% on their mobile travel bills.”

Within nine months of its launch in September 2007, MaxRoam had saved travelers more than $1 million on their roaming mobile bill and almost $1.7 million to date. These savings will now be extended to Dopplr members with a Dopplr SIM and website to manage their mobile usage while traveling.

  1. The word “SIMtastic” has given me a pain in my gut.

  2. Yes it’s rather awful, the kind of thing you’d see on a Perlico ad.

    Great, I have to use it at least five times in normal conversations so :)
