Dutch digital security company Gemalto has entered an agreement with Colombian mobile network operator Tigo to enable the latter to provide mobile access to Facebook using its Facebook for SIM solution.

Gemaltos embedded software application provides Tigo´s subscribers with access to Facebook from any type of handset. To get started, users need to power on their devices and receive a pop up message informing them about the service. With a click, they are prompted to sign on to an existing Facebook account directly from their SIM menu.

In recent news, Canadian telecommunication services provider Telus has selected Gemalto for the latter’s UpTeq NFC SIM cards to enable consumers to store credentials on their SIM for use with their mobile phones.
