BlackBerry technology allows Hong Kong carrier to provide 10 phone numbers on a single SIM
BlackBerry technology allows 3HK to offer Numbers Master, which allows subscribers to have 10 phone numbers on one SIM card
BlackBerry hasn't dominated the smartphone market since 2009. It also hasn't been able to breakthrough with its two Android powered handsets, the BlackBerry Priv and the DTEK50. But just as CEO John Chen has planned, the company can make contributions to the industry in other ways. Take today's report about a new feature offered to subscribers of mobile carrier Three Hong Kong.
This is exactly what we expect BlackBerry to be focusing on in the future. During the company's fiscal fourth quarter which ended in March, handset sales dropped by more than half to 600,000 units from the previous year. For the fiscal first quarter of 2017, BlackBerry had record software and services revenue.
"Numbers Master is compatible with iOS and Android smartphones and based on technology from BlackBerry, which is widely revered for system security. The new service manages 10 mobile numbers on one SIM via a mobile app, and provides a clear, stable and high-quality voice service when connected to a telephone circuit. Corporations and SMEs served by 3 Hong Kong can add nine supplementary numbers to a primary number on a smartphone via a dedicated app. This doubles the number of additional numbers offered by a similar service on the local market, and represents a significant advancement in SIM card functionality."-Three Hong Kong
