Created as the world's first SIM card that lets you chat free of charge, without limits and without Wi-Fi, using instant messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, QQ, Viber, LINE etc.), ChatSim is forging ahead as it grows exponentially: over 100 thousand SIM cards sold and distribution agreements signed in 30 countries .

Zeromobile - Italy's number one low-cost global mobile operator (http://www.zeromobile.it) - has decided to create its start-up, which is the brainchild of Manuel Zanella (38 years old), the company's founder and CEO. The transaction sees the participation of Angelsim Sarl, a Luxembourg investment company that groups together several international investors with many years of experience in investment to support start-ups. This has led to the agreement between Zeromobile and Angelsim Sarl allowing ChatSim to go from being a Zeromobile start-up to an independent company.

This venture capital company has been mesmerized by the figures and potential for growth of ChatSimSo it has decided to invest EUR1 million in the business set up by Manuel Zanella, which is already worth over EUR4 million after a few months from its launch . 

Manuel Zanella is satisfied with the deal reached with Angelsim Sarl and reveals: "It is a market we invented just four months ago. That's another reason why I found a partner who decided to bet on ChatSim just a few months after the launch of my business. One of the targets of the deal ? Selling 1 million SIM cards by 2016 ."

Besides chatting for free without limits with all IM apps, without Wi-Fi, ChatSim is also the first "Instant Messaging SIM" in the world to introduce voice calls with all IM apps as a single voice communication system. Even without Wi-Fi.
