what is GSM?
GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. This technology was originally developed as a pan-European standard for digital mobile telephony, but it has quickly become the world’s most widely used mobile system. In Europe, Asia, and Australia, GSM operates on the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz frequencies. In North and South America, GSM occupies the 850 MHz and 1900 MHz frequencies. The Wizz SaverSIM® works with all these frequencies.
GSM is a digital standard first offered commercially in 1991 and is currently the most popular mobile phone transmission technology in the world. One of the great benefits of a GSM phone is the addition of a SIM card, or “Subscriber Identification Module.” This little chip slips into the back of GSM phones and provides all of the users personal information. This includes contacts and calendar information in most cases, and more importantly the subscribers personal identification information. Having this information on removable chip enables a GSM phone user to move a SIM card between mobile phones and still receive voice calls to the same number. It also prevents user from having to re-input personal information each time a new phone is purchased.
