It is an easy one-time application to overcome the hassle of switching SIMs every time you travel. Click here to download the Flexiroam X app now!
To use Flexiroam X, you will have to apply the microchip on the top of your existing SIM card and activate it through the Flexiroam X mobile app. After that, you can easily switch to Flexiroam X network when you travel and switch back to your home network when you return.
After you've switched to Flexiroam X network, you will not be able to receive phone calls. This protects our users from being charged by their home telcos. However, users can use any applications that requires data and make calls with them.
