We are looking at something at evaluation level as consultancy project and before we go further would be very useful to know if your very interesting product can help.

We want to to give users a SIM (or similar tangible hardware) such that their device will access specific secure data (ideally from a WAP server). The user must still be able to use their phone and MSISDN for voice/sms as before. We have been thinking about taking the existing SIM from the handset and inserting SIM toolkit menu items on the SIM. The ultimate objective being that when SIM reinserted in the phone the user is then directed to a URL. If not possible with an existing SIM might require copying the SIM to a new SIM with new toolkit "items" inserted. However your Turbo SIM may be a better option.

Thanks for any help.

In case the handset supported "LAUNCH BROWSER" STK command then it is trivial. Most new phones (even Nokia!) support it. URL is parameter of this command.

Thanks indeed for that. In the meantime found good paper on WAP STK interaction on http://servlet.java.sun.com/javaone/javaone2000/pdfs/TS-1666.pdf

So if I were to buy Turbo SIM I could write an application that would direct the phone browser to a specific URL? The key thing is the user could still use their own SIM on the phone for voice etc..

One thing not clear to me : If I write new application for turbo SIM can I load it via the memory card or do I have to buy the Turbo Programmer?

Are you available on consultancy basis to answer other more specific questions? If so please indicate a charge?
Thanks
