UK ISP Andrews & Arnold (AAISP) has informed customers about the forthcoming closure of their long-running SIP2SIM<\/a> (mobile voice) service, which is essentially a special SIM card that you could put in an ordinary dumb mobile phone, and it makes that device appear as if it is a SIP extension (SIP phone) on a phone system of your choice.<\/p>\n

The admittedly “somewhat niche<\/em>” service, supported by O2<\/a>’s (VMO2) underlying mobile network, has been running since 2014 and costs from just \u00a32 +vat per month (plus \u00a35 one-off per SIM card) on a monthly rolling contract (2p per minute for calls, 2p per TXT \/ SMS and 2p per MegaByte of data \/ broadband).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Most people are familiar with the term VoIP (Voice-over-Internet-Protocol), but you\u2019ll also hear providers mention SIP<\/strong> (Session Initiation Protocol), which is essentially a common protocol for enabling a VoIP service.<\/div>\n

The bad news is that AAISP has this week announced that their SIP2SIM service “will stop<\/em>” on the last day of April 2024 (credits to Jack for notifying us of this), which is because their partner for the service has decided to terminate the agreement they currently hold with the ISP.<\/p>\n

SIP2SIM Service Statement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, on 1st May 2024, the partner with whom we’ve had this relationship is terminating our agreement. There are several factors at play here, we think :<\/p>\n

– 3G<\/a> masts are going away, and a portion of our SIMs in the wild are still 3G<\/a> only, so would need replacing.
\n– The O2<\/a> MVNO that our supplier uses to provide SIMs connected to the O2<\/a> network is coming to an end.
\n– Our supplier is (as many telcos are) focussing more on IoT\/M2M data only services, and less on voice.<\/p>\n

We did attempt to find a way to retain service with them, but even had we been able to do this, SIMs would still all have had to have been swapped, and pricing models would have needed to be very greatly changed.<\/p>\n

We also explored finding service with a number of other suppliers, but as mentioned above, many telcos are now much more focussed on M2M\/IoT type services, and not on voice. This makes intuitive sense; a decade ago, voice calling was far more common than it is now, and data-based services (including VoIP as an over-the-top service) were not really as established as they are today.<\/p>\n

Therefore, unfortunately, SIP2SIM as a service will stop from the last day of April 2024.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The provider’s statement (see above link) includes details of alternative solutions for existing customers. In addition, there are other providers out there, including OnSIM<\/a>, who “may<\/em>” be able to offer something technically “similar enough<\/em>” that it might work for some, although, in a different pricing model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
