Help me build
Junqo.
Junqo is still at the proof-of-concept stage. I'm working toward the first real prototype — researching the technology, building the hardware, testing connectivity and figuring out what it takes to turn the idea into a product.
I'm opening this page privately to friends, family and people who believe in what I'm building and want to help me take the next step.

Your SIM.
Every device.
Today, your SIM card is physically locked to one device. If your phone is in another room, charging in a bag, or left at home, you're cut off from your calls, messages, and mobile data.
Junqo is a system — hardware and software — that bridges that gap. One SIM stays in a small companion device. That device connects via Bluetooth to any phone or tablet nearby, sharing your cellular connectivity without needing another SIM or mobile plan.
You don't change your number. You don't pay for two lines. You just stay connected — on whatever device you have in hand.

The people who helped start it.
Junqo doesn't exist yet. If it eventually does, I'll remember the people who helped me get from the first idea to the first working prototype.

The first prototype
is the hardest part.
Building hardware is different from building software. You can't iterate on a circuit board for free. The first prototype costs real money before you can prove a single thing works.
I've already done the research — I know the problem is real, I know the approach is technically possible, and I have a plan. What I need now is enough funding to buy components, build a prototype board, and test whether the core idea works the way I believe it will.
This isn't a Kickstarter. There are no rewards, no delivery dates, no promises about a final product. You're funding the step that comes before any of that is possible: finding out if this actually works.
"I'm not asking people to fund a product. I'm asking people who believe in the idea to help me get to the point where I can prove it's real. If the prototype works, everything changes. If it doesn't, I'll be honest about that too."
Where Junqo is
right now.
Problem
Identified and validated the core problem through real-world observation.
DoneResearch
Deep technical research into hardware requirements, chipsets, and feasibility.
In progressProof of concept
Building the first PoC to validate the core hardware-software integration.
Current stageWorking prototype
A functional device that demonstrates the full feature set end-to-end.
Testing
Rigorous testing with real users across multiple device types and networks.
Production
Manufacturing and distribution at scale — the product phase.

Every contribution moves
the prototype forward.
Research
Technical feasibility studies, component research, and protocol analysis to ensure the approach is sound before any hardware is purchased.
Hardware
Microcontrollers, SIM interface modules, Bluetooth chipsets, and supporting electronics needed to assemble the first proof of concept.
Engineering
Development time for the embedded firmware, companion app communication layer, and the core connectivity bridge logic.
Testing
Tools, equipment, and time for testing across network types, devices, and real-world conditions. Failure is data — testing is how we find it.
Prototype
PCB fabrication, enclosure, and the physical assembly of a device that can be demonstrated end-to-end.
You're not investing
in Junqo.
This is not a crowdfunding campaign with rewards. This is not an investment. This is not a pre-order for a product.
If you contribute to Junqo through this page, you are making a voluntary financial contribution to support early-stage development. You will not receive equity, shares, tokens, or any ownership stake in Junqo Innovation Labs Ltd or Junqo.
You will not be guaranteed a product, a delivery date, or a return on your contribution. You are not purchasing anything.
Junqo is at an early, pre-prototype stage. The goal of this support is to build the first working proof of concept. There is no guarantee that the product will be built, launched, or succeed.
You're helping build the thing before it exists.
I want to build this properly.
Junqo started with a problem I experienced myself.
In my 400L year, I bought a network-locked iPhone that couldn't use any Nigerian SIM or eSIM. I eventually got it working, but the experience was never completely reliable.
Years later, the idea came back to me:
What if my SIM didn't have to live inside one device at all?
That question became Junqo.
I'm now trying to turn that question into something real.
I'm still early. There are technical problems I haven't solved yet. There are things I don't know. There will probably be prototypes that fail.
But I want to find out how far this idea can go.
If you're here because you believe I can build it, thank you.
And if you choose to support it, I'll make sure you can see where that support goes.

Common
questions.
Help me get from an idea
to a working prototype.
Junqo started as a question. Now I'm trying to build the answer.
