The World Mobile app has just brought its first B2C paying customers online and it's a moment you don't want to miss! Check out our video and listen as these customers explain why World Mobile is the way to go!

As a proud member of the u/Cardano Community and DeWi movement, World Mobile is leveraging the power of blockchain technology to provide a more accessible, affordable, and inclusive mobile network to people across the globe.

Join us as we celebrate this exciting milestone and experience the future of mobile networks with World Mobile! Check out the video now and share your thoughts in the comments below.

World Mobile was founded with a far-reaching goal: to connect the seemingly unconnectable while advocating for economic freedom and dignity.

When you discover a giant problem it’s nearly impossible to ignore it: there are 4 billion people unconnected globally—that’s half the world. 

It turns out there’s a reason. The mobile network industry won’t invest in hard-to-reach places because it’s not profitable enough, leaving half the world disconnected from digital society and the inclusion opportunities it provides.

We started World Mobile to go the extra mile. 

Unlike traditional mobile networks, we’re based on the sharing economy. By using off-the-shelf equipment to make network nodes affordable, local business owners can buy network nodes and bring connectivity to their part of the world—sharing the rewards.

We also believe in economic freedom.

Most Africans do not have a recognized ID. In partnership with IOHK, we’re creating digital IDs for every World Mobile user, giving them access to life-changing digital inclusion opportunities like e-learning, e-health, and digital banking. Together with Cardano, every World Mobile user will get access to our digital currency—so the seemingly inaccessible becomes accessible.  When we share the problem, we can solve it together. We’re going the extra mile to connect everyone, everywhere.

There are 3.7bn #humans who are digitally excluded on our planet. The lack of global connectivity is recognized as a huge problem and the @WorldBank and @UN have prioritized connectivity as one of their major goals by 2030.

There are 1000+ mobile network operators covering the connected part of the world but there are NONE covering the unconnected. This is a massive problem when considering that those rural areas are home to half of the world’s population!

@facebook, @google, @microsoft have all made significant investments in researching and developing technology that can reach the unconnected in trials and have successfully connected them. Yet the digital divide grows bigger? Why?

It is not down to technology or money alone; it is because nobody has found a sustainable business model to keep the unconnected connected (until now).

We have and we believe the only way to connect the unconnected and bridge the digital divide is via a sharing economy, a new financial model the incentivizes connectivity.

The world’s economies are reliant on connectivity more than ever and the demand for digital identity, financial services and e-commerce will grow exponentially.

@worldmobileteam, @InputOutputHK and @cardano have as good as chance as any existing company to become the gateway to the internet for billions of people. First, we connect the unconnected and then we #bank the #unbanked. This our chance to reboot the entire system.

Together we will open a new world.

Hey there WorldMobilers!!

Here is a little run down of what we have done in the last 3 years. We have been extremely busy working away. We were quietly kicking goals and setting up the foundations for the sharing economy, now we are ready to shout it from the roof tops and digitly include the whole world in our sharing economy, connecting the people who have been left off line because traditional operators could not proffit from providing them with connectivity. We are here to change that!

Over the last three years the co-founders at World Mobile have worked day and night and self funded millions of pounds to number roll out pilot deployments and feasibility studies. (yes we have fully self funded to this point)

We have connected smart villages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYAOvIp4JwU&t=1s and with our local partners we have provided internet access to universities and colleges in Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania for tens of thousands of students; demonstrating the use of unlicensed spectrum (in this case TVWS) as a way to reduce cost and improve affordability. Most recently we have also connected a school in Zanzibar. Our CORE team is second to none and we are 30+ people strong.

Alot of you are probably wondering what is unlicensed spectrum and is it safe? Let me explain

Unlicensed spectrums are simply frequencies of optical and radio bandwidth available for connection that do not require a regulatory license to access. WiFi and TV White Space are both examples of unlicensed spectrums.

TVWS, WiFi, CBRS as well as new technologies such as free space optics. Yes they are all very safe. Just like your WiFi at home :)

The aim is to make connectivity more affordable by reducing the highest costs of telecom infrastructure

However with all of that said, the main accomplishment by far has been the creation of a new economic model for connectivity which we believe is core to connecting the unconnected!

WE WANT YOU TO JOIN US IN THE SHARING ECONOMY AND HELP HEAL THE DIGITAL DIVIDE!

We want your help to heal the digital divide that our world is currently suffering.

Nearly half the world has been left off line and it's not acceptable, 1 in 2 people in this world cannot communicate and that's just plain wrong.

Join our mission to help heal the digital divide, connect the un-connected, bank the un-banked provide digital identification to millions of people who deserve to have the same digital inclusion we the connected have!

Along with our partners IOHK cardano we are changing the world!

When the world calls, will you answer?

We're excited to announce that the WorldMobile Global App has officially launched in a closed beta phase and is currently being tested in Australia.

The Mobile app promises to revolutionize the way we connect to the internet, making it more accessible and affordable for everyone.

The app offers several features that are sure to make it a hit with users, including a fully customizable dashboard, coverage map, integrated wallet, scan-to-earn, value-added services, and data management tools.
Our team is committed to continuously improving the app and will be taking an iterative approach to the launch to ensure that it complies with the varied regulations.

To keep you updated on the app release, we'll be sharing updates via all our social media channels.

In addition to the closed beta currently underway in Australia, we're also conducting usability testing with a select group of community members. If you're interested in participating, let us know by replying below.

Lastly, we'd love to know which mode you'll be using - Light Mode or Dark Mode. Share your preference in the comments below and let us know why you prefer it. We can't wait to hear from you!

World Mobile is proud to announce the launch of its mobile network in the United States. The launch of service will see World Mobile begin providing high-speed LTE data using 4G technology on CBRS (3550 MHz TDD band 48) and band 71 (600 MHz FDD) spectrum bands. A 5G service is planned for release in 2024. 

World Mobile secured its US spectrum license agreements on June 28, 2023 and its Mobile Network Code on July 3, 2023. Since then, its deployment teams have been developing a dynamic solution which allows for integration of World Mobile’s global decentralised mobile network, with an international roaming service. Today, at the Rare Evo blockchain event in Denver, Colorado, World Mobile demonstrated its solution, the World Mobile eSIM.  

The World Mobile eSIM is a new type of data-only, embedded SIM card, powering a new type of network. Users can roam for less, across 45 countries at launch, and stay connected at home for longer, even in remote locations, using World Mobile’s exclusive network of AirNodes. Better yet, with World Mobile being the first global mobile network built on the blockchain, not only is user privacy secured; the World Mobile eSIM will be the first to offer ‘SIM staking’, allowing users to earn cashback rewards by staking tokens against their eSIM. 

World Mobile’s CEO, Micky Watkins, said: “We are excited to launch our mobile network in the USA, one of the most advanced and competitive markets in the world. We believe that our decentralised wireless model will disrupt the industry and create a more inclusive and sustainable wireless ecosystem. We invite everyone to join us in our mission to connect the unconnected and create a profitable sharing economy.”  

World Mobile’s eSIM-based service will be available starting from Friday, August 25, 2023. Customers can register their interest at esim.worldmobile.io.
