San Francisco, 9th of August 2023 - Omnipoint (www.omnipointbroadband.com), one of the US’ leading broadband providers, today announced its partnership with Gigs (gigs.com), the world’s first telecom-as-a-service platform, to offer its customers a best-in-class wireless experience alongside its home internet and TV bundles. Powered by Gigs, Omnipoint Mobile offers customers a selection of affordable, carrier-grade plans with nationwide 5G & 4G LTE coverage - including Unlimited Plans starting at $45 per month. With Omnipoint Mobile’s eSIMs, customers can sign up in just three minutes without switching fees or contractual commitments and can flexibly manage their plan online anytime.
"The broadband market is undergoing a seismic shift. Customers increasingly seek bundled packages with favorable pricing that serve all their entertainment and connectivity needs from a single source. With Omnipoint Mobile, we are at the forefront of this shift, offering our customers more convenience and value for money with attractive bundles and seamless plan management" said Timothy Paul, President of Omnipoint. “Thanks to Gigs’s end-to-end capabilities, we were not only able to launch a compelling wireless service in a matter of days, we also now have deep insights into subscriptions, usage, conversion rates, payments, and more, giving us a key competitive edge.”
Hermann Frank, co-founder & CEO at Gigs, added: "A huge window of opportunity is opening for broadband players like Omnipoint to break into the wireless market. Next to opening up a new recurring revenue stream, complementing home internet with wireless also promises higher customer loyalty and satisfaction. Omnipoint’s unique offering perfectly illustrates how Gigs removes the hurdles for innovative broadband providers to spin up their own competitive MVNO and seize this opportunity. We couldn’t be more excited to be Omnipoint’s growth partner on their entrepreneurial journey into the mobile space."
How Omnipoint Mobile works
Omnipoint Mobile customers can pick the phone plan that best suits their needs, ranging from 1GB pay as you go plans to a variety of different unlimited plans - all with flexible monthly cancellation. Omnipoint’s carrier-grade plans utilize AT&T’s 5G and 4G LTE network and include unlimited talk & text, hotspot capability, and free roaming to Canada and Mexico. With Omnipoint mobile’s eSIMs, customers can seamlessly sign up and activate their plan entirely online in as little as three minutes and can opt to keep their existing phone number. Once signed up, they can manage their plan, add data top-ups or change their plan themselves without needing to speak to a support agent.
Why companies choose Gigs
Before Gigs, companies that wanted to offer phone plans had to spend months negotiating contracts with telecom providers, committing millions of dollars upfront, and hiring entire teams to tediously integrate with their networks and develop software for offering and managing subscriptions for their users. This barrier proved insurmountable for most businesses, stifling innovation at a moment when connectivity is more important than ever.
With Gigs, companies can now offer voice and data plans, bundling them with their existing product portfolio in any market where they operate, all through a single integration. Gigs enables any company to offer eSIM and SIM-enabled voice and data plans of any size on any network globally. Companies have the flexibility to choose their preferred networks and even offer them simultaneously, providing customers with more options. Businesses can launch their mobile service provider and generate new recurring revenue streams while maintaining full control over their brand, customer experience, and price points. Gigs is actively utilized across various industries, from neobanks that provide branded phone plans alongside their credit or debit cards to broadband providers enabling them to offer home internet and phone plans on one platform, and hardware OEMs that offer subscriptions bundled with their devices.
