Introduction

Ameed’s Slides

TelecomsXchange (TCXC) has powered wholesale c and numbering markets for over one decade. Ameed covered his work at TADSummit 2023.

TCXC builds on many open source projects to deliver a source free platform. That the a telco can operate or TCXC can operate on behalf of the telco. eSIM Exchange builds on that successful model delivering an eSIM marketplace for wireless wholesale data connectivity.

For CSPs: eSIM Exchange delivers Unified Access to Wholesale eSIM Providers

Key benefits include:

• Access all international eSIM providers through one API integration
• Compare real-time pricing across wholesale eSIM providers
• Subsequently, manage the complete lifecycle via our eSIM API platform
• Finally, consolidate billing across all services

For Providers: Global Distribution Through TCXC Digital SIM Card Exchange. Similarly, wholesale eSIM providers gain instant market access.

They can:

• Reach global CSPs through their eSIM marketplace platform
• Automate provisioning and settlement operations
• Compete transparently in their mobile connectivity marketplace
• Moreover, focus on service quality while TXCX handle distribution

And its available white label, like TXCX’s other wholesale products.

Given the eSIM session we did with Stuart Michell last week, and in January Ameed announced eSIM exchange, the timing is perfect to get into the details.

TXCX in a nut shell

TXCX is a single software stack, built from the ground up to support wholesale telecom services such as: voice termination, SMS termination, DIDs and numbers, HLR lookup, and now eSIM.

They’ve harmonized pricing sheets, with a unified processes, so what would take days, now takes minutes through one API, GUI, or MCP server. CSPs can now manage wholesale operations through natural language prompts.

Their recommended AI model is Claude from Anthropic.

TXCX have proven the wholesale prepaid market is viable with over $300M in transactions, that is an amazing achievement, well done Ameed!

One wallet, one agreement, one interconnect, one API, across multiple providers. The eSIM market place and clearing house was launched in January 2026.

It began with wholesale voice

TXCX began providing open wholesale voice routes. Open is important as all the suppliers for the route are observable, nothing is hidden. No dodgy route that could be harvesting data, this stand in stark contrast to some in the industry, and why I remain a TXCX fan.

At a dinner during ITExpo, and received 3 robocalls in about one hour, that left voice messages. The lawyer sat next to me did not realize the PSTN experience has become so bad.

As an industry we have a tendency to blame the victim, I have not done anything wrong. I could subscribe to YouMail to filter the pollution. But as a matter of principle, I consider it to be the responsibility of my telco to deliver an unpolluted PSTN service.

T-Mobile did this last year for SMS in removing Syniverse as a direct connect aggregator. It needs to be as aggressive in voice. We need to move to end to end IP, no ‘buts’ or special situations. To reclaim a national asset, the PSTN. I’ll get off my soapbox, and focus on TXCX.

TSCS moved next into SMS, building their own SMPP stack, creating SMS exchange. With the rise of CPaaS, they further extended their model to DID exchange, both voice and SMS enabled.

They then extended to HLR look-up, which is used to verify the live status, network, and validity of a mobile phone number. It is primarily used to reduce SMS/voice costs, improve delivery rates, detect fraud, and maintain clean, accurate customer contact databases.

What was missing in the TXCX wholesale story is data. eSIM close that gap, with a popular service, that we covered with Stuart Michell, here.

The eSIM Exchange Offer

For buyers:

• Instant purchasing experience
• Beautiful interface design
• Zero friction, zero waiting
• Real-time pricing & inventory

For Sellers:

• Real-time settlement on every sale
• Payout on request
• Zero buyer risk
• No payment chasing

A seller is exposed to about 700 CSPs who are connected to TXCX.

TXCX rexommends eSIM sellers provision uninversal eSIM, rather than regional, to make it easy for customers.

Ameed shares the core of the API, with search: compare packages from multiple providers in a single call. Purchase: get QR code, LPA ((Local Profile Assistant) string, and iOS install link instantly. And top-up your eSIM. What’s neat is there is no vendor lock in.

TXCX launched wirh one eSIM seller partner, who has about 600 roaming agreements. And since announcing eSIM exchange last month has a pipeline of 20 potential partners, proving the model is attractive to sellers.

Free Stuff

Ameed announces “Build with eSIMs, $50 Free Credit”. TADHack developers receive $50 in free credit to integrate eSIMs into their applications using TCXC exchange APIs. Actually the credit applies across all services, not just eSIM.

To access the offer: Create a free TelecomsXChange account, Use promo code TADHACK2026 — they’ll load $50 to your wallet, Use 3 API endpoints to add eSIM to your app. Thank you Ameed!

Ameed shares an app he made in a few hours of vibe coding, that takes a travel booking confirmation, and converts it into the appropriate search for eSIMs, that is number of people and countries visited. You can imagine how a bank could add this as a foreign currency workflow, or your airline adding this to a travel booking.

Landing connected is the pain point, on my flight to Fort Lauderdale, holafly was advertising on United. The pain point they solve is landing connected.

Applications of eSIM Exchange

I then ask about rating of the eSIM providers. I’m forgetting this is a wholesale offer. An app developer could add that as a value add. In the United example above, across their community they could add value on United customer reviews and purchase frequency, like you see in Amazon searches.

Back to the eSIM exchange benefits:

• Pricing Transparency: Real-time pricing from all sellers in one unified view;
• Unified API: Single API to search, buy, top-up and release eSIMs;
• Reseller Network: Connect with hundreds of CSPs globally through one integration; and
• Automated Payments: Sellers get paid instantly by the exchange.

The beauty of this offer is risk reduction, as many CSPs are risk-averse.

Why Buyers choose TXCX:

• Multi-Provider, Choose from multiple eSIM providers based on coverage, pricing, and quality metrics;
• De-risk, Don’t rely on a single provider — diversify your eSIM supply across multiple sources;
• Single Wallet, Use your existing TCXC wallet for Voice, SMS, Numbers, HLR and now eSIMs; and
• Unified API, One standardized API for search, buy, top-up and release across all providers.

Why Sellers shoose TXCX:

• Instant Settlement & Payouts. Real-time settlement on every eSIM sale with payout on request;
• Massive CSP Reach. One integration connects you to hundreds of CSPs instantly worldwide;
• Revenue Multiplication. Generate more sales through broader CSP network reach; and
• Leverage Local Expertise. CSPs handle local sales in their markets — you focus on service.

And that is not all! A telco and launch their own eSIM exchange. White-label platform with real-time access to TXCX eSIM inventory from day 1.

With the TXCX MCP it enables secure, authenticated, real-time eSIM access for any AI client. This parallels what we’re doing at VCONIC TADHack. Thomas’s presentation for VCONIC TADHack stimulated Ameed on ideas around smart SIP trunks, let’s hope something happens 🙂

Ameed has brought together an impressive assembly of technology, business, and ecosystem in wholesale telecoms. I think he’s onto a winner, and will likely be bought sooner rather than later.
