Your own number

Hosted SIM card

Sometimes the message has to come from the number your customers already know. You post us your own SIM card, we install it and look after it, and the traffic runs through the same platform as everything else.

DKK 120

per month

All prices exclude VAT.

Your own number

Both outbound and inbound messages run on the number your customers already have saved.

Behaves like a keyword

In our system a hosted SIM card behaves like a keyword, so anything you can do with keywords you can do here.

The same API

The integration is the same as the rest of the platform. There is no new system to learn.

Everything in one place

Inbound and outbound messages sit in the control panel alongside the rest of your traffic.

Most customers do fine with a keyword on 1919. But if the messages need to come from a number your customers already know, we will happily host your SIM card.

It is exactly what it sounds like: you post us your physical SIM card, we put it in our equipment and look after it. The number stays yours, and you never have to think about hardware, power or a phone running out of battery in a cupboard.

In our system a hosted SIM card works like a keyword. That means everything you can do with keywords you can do here too: auto-replies, forwarding to your own system, and setup through the same API.

When a hosted SIM card makes sense

  • When customers already have your number saved in their phone.
  • When replies need to land on the number people usually write to.
  • When you have a system that already sends from a particular number.
  • When you want both outbound and inbound traffic in one place.

Frequently asked questions

Contact us

Can we keep our current number?

Usually yes. Call us with the number and your current provider and we will work out what it takes.

What is the difference between a keyword and a hosted SIM card?

A keyword shares the short code 1919 with others and is identified by the first word of the message. A hosted SIM card is your own mobile number that nobody else uses. Technically the two behave the same in our system. A keyword costs DKK 120 a month and a hosted SIM card DKK 120, and keywords on your own hosted SIM card are free.

What is the difference between a virtual number and a hosted SIM card?

A virtual number exists only in our system. There is no physical SIM card behind it, and we give you the number. A hosted SIM card is your own physical SIM, which you post to us. Pick the hosted SIM card if the messages have to come from a number you already have and want to keep.

Can we reply to the messages?

Yes. All inbound traffic is visible in the control panel, and you can reply from there or let your own system do it through the API.
