GSM-XL's new SIM card

JAKARTA (JP): Cellular phone operator PT Excelcomindo Pratama, the operator of GSM-XL, has launched its Periskop XL, a subscribers identity module (SIM) card designed for both prepaid and postpaid cards.

Company Sales and Marketing Manager Kusnadi Sukarja said that Periskop XL is a prepaid card which can be converted into a postpaid card capable of roaming in 45 countries, through 70 foreign operators.

"This is a single entry card, a card which can migrate wherever the users want to go. Subscribers can buy the Periskop XL for local use, but if they need to go abroad, the card can easily switch from its capacity of prepaid card to postpaid card," he said.

He added that subscribers only have to advise the GSM-XL consumer service of their plan to go abroad, and the card will be able to be used upon arrival at the overseas destination. (gis)
