Motivation & Purpose
Natural & Man Made Disasters are occurring around the globe every now and then.
Some of them which created havoc recently are:
Tsunami
Katrina
Rita
Indo-Pak earthquake
French riots
Why SIM Salvage?
Absence of any applet which can cater to the needs of the victims and facilitates ‘Post Disaster Recovery’.
SIM Salvage can exploit the reach of mobile phones in remote areas. Till date there hasn’t been any such application which utilizes the power of mobile communication.
SIM Salvage can act as a ‘tool for coordination’ between government, rescue agencies and various NGO’s to synchronize and prioritize Post Disaster Recovery process.
SIM Salvage helps in database creation of various entities i.e. victims, donors, service providers etc. which can be queried by various agencies/subscribers for quick information.
SIM Salvage routes the requirements of various rescue agencies to concerned authorities effectively.

Market Areas & Appeal
Market Areas & Appeal
SIM Salvage can be deployed at:
Areas prone to natural disasters (for e.g.. Indonesia comes under highly active seismic zone).
Probable man made disaster sites (for e.g. Kashmir has high probability of terrorist activity).
Global deployment for precaution, since disasters are unpredictable by nature.
Marketing Appeal
SIM Salvage let’s operators play a vital role during disaster and recovery from the crisis, thereby gains popularity in becoming a kind of ‘National Disaster Operator’.
Operator can join hands with government and various rescue agencies.
Operators can incrementally build a comprehensive database of donors which can be made available to various NGO’s and other operators at nominal charges. With passage of time this database can become a standard for reference during any disaster by any agency.
SMS and Call traffic gets increased after SIM Salvage activation and thus the revenues for operator based on it.
Applet has many strong features but even if it is deployed with minimal features like helpline numbers and relief camp information etc., it can prove to be highly effective.
Last but not the least SIM Salvage helps in increasing customers’ loyalty to it’s operators.
