Question 1

What is SIM Hosting?

Accepted Answer

SIM Hosting is a service that lets you automate your VTU and data reselling business by connecting your SIM cards to our platform. Dispense SME data, AWOOF data, CG data gifting and airtime VTU automatically from your own SIM to your customers — no manual USSD codes. We offer cloud-based, device-based and wallet-based solutions for MTN, Airtel, Glo and T2Mobile.

Question 2

Do I need to give my SIM cards to SimHoster?

Accepted Answer

No. Your SIM cards are not required to be with us. You are fully in charge. You retain complete control over your SIMs at all times — we never take physical possession of your SIMs.

Question 3

How instant is the SimHoster system?

Accepted Answer

The solution is 100% automated. Data and airtime get delivered from your own SIM to your customer instantly. Real-time Telco API integration means no holding periods, no pending status. Most transactions complete in seconds.

Question 4

Does SimHoster work for all Nigerian networks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MTN, Airtel, Glo and T2Mobile — all four Nigerian networks are supported. The data and airtime delivery system is working and active for SME data, AWOOF data, CG data gifting, direct gifting and VTU airtime across all networks.

Question 5

Does this work only for SME data?

Accepted Answer

No. The solution works for SME data, AWOOF data, CG data (Corporate Gifting), Data Gifting, Direct Gifting, VTU airtime and MoMo airtime. All data types and airtime VTU are supported.

Question 6

Do I need a developer to start with SimHoster?

Accepted Answer

No. You only need a developer if you want to implement our API on your website or app. All other features can be used directly from the dashboard — initiate data sales, airtime VTU, bulk operations and manage resellers without any coding.

Question 7

Can I sell without having data on my connected SIM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have a wallet system. Fund your wallet and continue selling data and airtime even when there's no data on your integrated SIM. Perfect for backup during SIM downtime, or for resellers who prefer direct purchase without SIM hosting.

Question 8

What is cloud SIM hosting vs device-based vs wallet?

Accepted Answer

Cloud SIM Hosting: Virtual hosting in our secure cloud — no physical device needed. Your SIM stays with you. Device-based: Physical SIM hosting with a dedicated mobile app for full SIM control. Wallet-based: Buy and resell directly without any SIM — fund your wallet and start vending. No license required for any option.

Question 9

What security measures protect my SIMs and transactions?

Accepted Answer

We implement end-to-end encryption, secure API authentication, real-time monitoring, regular security audits and automated backup systems. Your SIMs are never exposed — only secure API calls are made. Bank-grade security for every transaction.

Question 10

What are the minimum requirements to start?

Accepted Answer

A registered account, active SIM cards (for cloud or device hosting) and basic internet. For device-based hosting: a compatible Android device. For wallet-only: just an account and wallet funding. No license or special permit required.
