With Simgo's solution, globetrotting employees can use their smartphones, iPhone (including iPhone 6) and Samsung Galaxy (including Galaxy S6), anywhere in the world without incurring roaming fees, since local SIM cards are remotely and automatically assigned to their mobile devices. Productivity is never compromised because employees can use their data-hungry apps at full 3G or 4G speed without fear or worry of bill shock, while their smartphone's home phone number and caller ID are maintained for incoming and outgoing toll-quality calls (not VoIP).

Simgo's patented technology removes the use of SIM card with a cloud-connected virtual SIM. The cloud is programmed with rules, using parameters such as location or quality of service to dynamically select and assign an appropriate SIM card to a particular smartphone for the time desired.

"Our vision is to let people enjoy mobility freely anywhere as if they were at home," said Eyal Shmueli, Simgo's Co-Founder and VP of Business Development. "We have developed the first virtual SIM for smartphones so that everyone can stay connected even when traveling abroad. With Simgo, enterprises save millions of dollars every month while globetrotting employees can increase their productivity without any behavioral changes required."

"CTIA awards recognize some of the best mobile products and services that leverage, shape and transform our competitive and rapidly evolving mobile industry. These awards are perfectly timed for holiday buying and New Year business planning, and CTIA Super Mobility 2015 attendees will have the opportunity to see and experience these innovations first hand," said CTIA Vice President and Show Director Robert Mesirow.

Dozens of industry experts, reporters and analysts judged and scored hundreds of entries to determine the finalists and winners in CTIA's annual awards program. CTIA will host the awards ceremony at CTIA Super Mobility 2015 and announce the winners Thursday, September 10 at 2:00 p.m. PT from the Networked Society Stage (Booth 3673) in the Sands Expo.  

In addition, the public may vote for their "Crowd Favorite." Online voting begins now, and onsite text voting begins September 8. "Crowd Favorite" voting ends Thursday, September 10 at 10:00 a.m. PT.
