      What are the operating models available with HMD Softlock?

      HMD Softlock offers flexible operating modes for your business needs:

      • Instalments model: The asset is unlocked by default but can be locked for reasons such as late payments. This model is suitable for regular payment schedules, such as monthly instalments over a set period.
      • Pay-as-you-go model: The asset is locked by default and can be unlocked by purchasing usage credits. This model is suitable for users who need asset usage time on an as-needed basis.
      • Network lock: Using the network lock feature, users can remotely lock their HMD Softlock enabled devices to a specific network operator's network, eliminating the need for manual SIM lock. This feature can be combined with Instalments or PAYG model.
