I think this will be realized when payment systems are ubiquitous or seamlessly interlinked. Yaani there is a standard payment platform for all services such that If I buy airtime in the Safaricom network I can use it in the Airtel network and to top up my Zuku account. That way If I wake up today and think Airtels offers sound better, I just select Airtel in a menu and proceed. The no. portability should be refined by then or make phone no.s like a Skype username, doesn't matter the network used. That way the bottleneck seizes to be the transaction platform and it boils down to the tech. On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 8:34 AM, Martin Gicheru <martin@techweez.com> wrote:
I would assume that nanosim would not mean limiting which carrier to use but actually get you from being dependent on switchable physical sum, that you will be presented with switching options from within the phone menu. Only thing of debate is whether this will allow for GSM and CDMA to be on one phone.

I dont think it would be wise to have Simless phones..
If you travel a lot - think about the cost implications.. you have to depend on your home network,, unless you buy another phone.
Having a phone with changeable simcards i believe gives you many instant options..
