SIMsmart Prepaid re-launches its low cost Europe SIM card for students, tourists and frequent travelers to Europe: a market-leading offer with the lowest rates and great flexibility
Posted in Cellhire on July 21, 2015
July 21, 2015. Garland, Texas. SIMsmart Prepaid, part of the Cellhire Group of Companies, has re-launched its Europe SIM card with the lowest rates, higher data allowances and all incoming calls from anywhere in the world now free instead of $0.35 a minute. The card comes preloaded with $20, helping to make this a market-leading offer.
The card not only saves money but also offers superb flexibility and worry-free texting, calling, surfing the web, using apps and uploading photos to social networks – all without shock bills. The SIM is particularly good with the iPhone, compared to an Android, because it behaves so seamlessly/fluidly, thanks to the Apple OS in the phone. With an Android there is a slight delay when callback is initiated; not with the iPhone.
“SIMsmart Prepaid arrives ready to use and takes the worry out of using a phone in Europe,” says Greg Kraynak, CEO, Cellhire. “The number of countries, different tariffs and network providers can be confusing and make using a phone for any purpose expensive. We make it easy and low cost. We guarantee that.”
The card is preloaded with $20 credit, accepts free incoming calls across Europe from anywhere in the world, has simple call-back connections for peace of mind and ease of use, features three-in-one [Standard, Micro and Nano] and comes with a 14-day money back guarantee. In addition, delivery is free, recharging online is easy and the SIM can be used in other countries, too, not just Europe; 170 in all.
“All our SIM offerings protect customers against shock bills and the complexity of the cellphone market in Europe – and are backed up by unrivalled online support,” says Kraynak. “We are able to offer very low rates in Europe because our long-standing presence there enables us to negotiate them for our customers.”

Cellhire strengthens presence in Brazil
Posted in Cellhire on June 9, 2015
June 9th 2015. York. Cellhire plc, the international mobile solutions specialist, has opened a new office in Sao Paulo – its first in Brazil – to capitalise on the expanding Brazilian market and build a platform to serve its global customer base for the Olympics that the country will host in 2016. The event will be used as a springboard to further establish the new office and gain a strong domestic foothold for business after the Olympics. Last year Cellhire, which is headquartered in York, delivered more than 14,000 connections at the FIFA World Cup as both business and media descended on Brazil for one of the biggest events in the world. Since then, the company has laid the appropriate foundations to maximise Brazil’s next big event in 2016 and capitalise on the growing Brazilian market. Cellhire will be offering voice and data connections, supporting live reporting from Rio to news desks around the world.
Cellhire’s Martyn Stevens
Martyn Stevens, Director of International Business Development at Cellhire, says, “Our new office in Brazil is a fantastic opportunity for Cellhire to break into Latin America and build on the back of our success at the FIFA World Cup. We’re looking forward to Rio 2016 and we have our unique network agreements in place to really make the most of it and to get our latest office off to a great start.” The Olympics kick off in Rio in August 2016 and Cellhire has already secured some major clients for voice and data connections at the event, with some customers travelling out to Brazil as early as May 2016.

With the launch of Not Actively Looking, search firms and executives join forces to make the Perfect Match
Posted in Not Actively Looking on May 21, 2015
May 21st 2015. Not Actively Looking – the global “matchmaking” platform that enables senior executives and executive search firms to make the perfect match – has launched in London.
The company was founded by Joseph Blass, who previously founded and led the sale of Toucan Telecom to Pipex plc, and Anthony Harling, a seasoned search consultant and former Senior Partner at executive search firm Heidrick and Struggles.
“Not Actively Looking is unlike any other existing or previous job site. It is not a job board, it is not a public social network and it is not a useless database of raw CVs. Not Actively Looking meets the real needs of executives and the search firms like never before,” says Blass. “It allows executives to discreetly manage and update their CV for the benefit of executive search firms handpicked by themselves, away from the prying eyes of their colleagues, employees or employers. Executives no longer need to chase individual search firms by email with copies of their CV. For search firms, the service means they can access and retrieve relevant and up-to-date information about executives. Search firms will no longer need to enter and store CVs which become outdated very quickly and from which they were never able to easily retrieve information such as aspirations or key achievements.” Blass adds, “Many executives have been keeping their up-to-date profile on services like LinkedIn. But because LinkedIn is publicly accessible to anybody, they couldn’t share the information that the search firms are really looking for.”
“Our approach is very different to anything that has been done before,” says Harling. “Executive search is driven 100% by client assignments, meaning that executives will be approached by search firms, not when the executive is looking for a role, but when the client is looking to fill one. In turn, this means that executives need to be exposed to the relevant search firms even when not actively looking.”
Blass and Harling offer this message to senior executives: “Even if you are not actively looking right now, you should still keep your trusted executive search firms up to date, because you never know when or where your next job will come from. NotActivelyLooking.com includes its own unique search retrieval tool that makes it much easier for the search firms to quickly identify you when it’s handling a search that precisely matches your skills and aspirations.”
Not Actively Looking is growing rapidly and has secured the collaboration so far of 25 senior level executive search firms with presences in North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific. Those firms include The Miles Partnership, Norman Broadbent, Calibre One, and Osprey Clarke. Although the majority of executive search members reside in North America and Europe, the company has registered executives from over 40 countries reflecting the truly international nature of the business.
Sue O’Brien OBE, Managing Director of the leading high-end search firm Norman Broadbent, an early adopter of Not Actively Looking, says “At Norman Broadbent we are really excited about the creation of Not Actively Looking as it is a great service for senior candidates who want to manage their profile with confidentiality. Not Actively Looking is a fabulous improvement compared with open social networks which most senior candidates avoid for that very reason. Our candidates have responded really positively to the service, in particular female candidates who avoid the existing methods as they are time consuming and too public.”

TIYGA Health presents self-report mobile health apps at Health 2.0 Europe 2014
Posted in Mobile Health, TIYGA Health on November 17, 2014
November 17th 2014.
Katrina Delargy, founder of TIYGA Health, developer of self-report mobile health [mHealth] apps, presented its patient-centric software at Health 2.0 Europe 2014, Europe’s leading showcase of cutting-edge technologies that transform health and healthcare, in London on Tuesday, November 11th.
The presentation included a demonstration of the software to hundreds of healthcare professionals by Katrina, in the session “Improving Quality: Tools for Hospitals and Health Professionals,” and sparked numerous comments by delegates on twitter [ref @tiygahealth #health2eu or #health2con].
TIYGA Health apps allow patients to self-report directly to their doctor or clinical team via their smartphone or tablet. “The ethos behind our apps,” Katrina says, “is to provide more person-centred care while also releasing time from paperwork to help more patients – and engaging patients as partners in their own care.”
A key point, she adds, “Is that the apps allow healthcare professionals to have better self-report evidence to view during or between consultations, whether face-to-face or by phone or video conference. That is because the apps can generate in higher quality patient data, which is reported by patients when convenient for them wherever they may be, with less vulnerability to recall error.
“Our approach is designed around the concept that better quality evidence direct from the patient can enable more timely interventions and a better audit trail,” she says.
During the demonstration she explained, “Our apps enable the doctor or nurse to review a patient’s timeline, activity maps and comments. Information like that can help with symptom control and improved adherence to medication regimes as well as facilitating rehabilitation and lifestyle changes if required.”
One of the areas that could benefit most from TIYGA Health technology is chronic pain, Katrina pointed out. Her views on giving a priority to chronic pain relief treatment have received encouraging feedback from members of the Northern Ireland Pain Society – and, during the conference, from delegates.
About TIYGA Health
TIYGA Health is a company of TIYGA (NI) Ltd and derives its name from the concept that Time Is Your Greatest Asset. TIYGA Health software is all about making best use of both patients’ and professionals’ time – as well as enabling more timely interventions.
Focusing on connected health, TIYGA Health operates from the MedTech Centre, Manchester Science Park and Antrim. With innovation at its core, the company strives to bring patient and healthcare professionals together through consumer mobile and cloud technology, making it easier and quicker for patients to self report while producing efficiencies that have potential to result in lower cost care without compromising the patient-professional relationship.
The company was founded by Katrina Delargy, who qualified in the physical sciences before specialising in R&D and problem-solving in oil and IT services, translating this multi-disciplinary expertise to health. She continues to research aspects of patient-clinician interactions and how they can be better enabled by mobile and web technologies, and is an occasional speaker at health conferences.
