- W-SIM
W-SIM (Willcom-SIM) is a SIM card developed by
Willcom which, in addition to standard SIM functions, also has the core components of a cellular telephone (PHS), such as theradio receiver /transmitter , built inside. It is currently used in some terminals (listed below), which do not have radio modules.The W-SIM core module is an extended version of a SIM card, containing not only user data but also all the transmission technology needed for a mobile device to work.
A terminal device developer can build a customized terminal without the design and development of a radio module, and users can change to a different radio module W-SIM without changing the terminal itself.
Similar to traditional handsets made by WILLCOM, W-SIM terminals can be used in
Japan , including global roaming withTaiwan andThailand .WILLCOM branded terminals
