SmartTrust, a developer of MDM and SIM management software for mobile operators, today announced that Sagem Orga, pioneer and a global leader in the smart card industry, has introduced the first SIM cards with SmartTrust WIB(TM) 2.0 in an effort to support a platform for emerging and next-generation Dynamic SIM Toolkit (DSTK) services.
