Travel is essential when your business is international, whether you're visiting satellite offices, customer sites or industry conferences. Working around the world has traditionally come at a cost for mobile connectivity though. Patchy coverage, unexpected charges and complex invoices are all too common.  

In this article, we'll explore how Global SIMs provide a simpler alternative.  

Connectivity across borders - the common challenges 

As any seasoned traveller knows, the quality of mobile coverage varies along with the food and the weather. But for business travellers, poor service is more than an inconvenience; it impacts productivity and pushes up the cost of doing business. 

The result is using multiple service providers to ensure your teams have connectivity where and when they need it - whether that's a research trip to California, a trade show in Copenhagen or a customer site in Cape Town. However, working with many providers creates admin overheads. You have to plan for extra support to manage the billing and deal with service problems. 

What's more, there's the risk of receiving a bill with a nasty surprise - charges you weren't expecting or roaming costs that mount up without your knowledge. 

Global SIMs: A simple solution to stay connected anywhere 

With a Global SIM, you can overcome the challenges with mobile connectivity. These SIMs automatically switch to the strongest local network to give you full coverage as you travel between regions covered by different providers.  

With GTN's Global SIMs, you have a choice of removable SIM cards that work across multiple networks or eSIMs embedded in the device. There are many benefits to using Global SIMs: 

Seamless connectivity from anywhere 

Global SIMs give you access to multiple mobile networks around the world. Wherever your team are working or travelling, they can stay connected with the help of a Global SIM. 

GTN uses its independent network expertise to partner with global providers and optimise routing and performance. It offers coverage across over 180 countries, so you can be connected from anywhere. 

Cut out the complexity  

While you benefit from the coverage of multiple networks, you no longer need to organise separate contracts with each provider. Global SIMs simplify the management of your mobile service, as there's only one provider to deal with. 

When you work with GTN, you receive a single invoice that covers all your mobile services, regardless of where in the world your teams are working. This approach streamlines billing and reporting and gives you the benefits of uninterrupted connectivity without needing a large support organisation. 

Reduce your roaming charges 

Before Global SIMs existed, the more travel you did, the higher your roaming charges. But with a SIM that automatically changes the network provider while you’re travelling, that’s not the case. 

By switching to local networks as you cross continents and countries, Global SIMs can lower your roaming costs compared to a traditional mobile contract. Whether you’re using data, calls or texts, Global SIMs make global travel more cost-effective. 

Keep control of your mobile costs 

Cost control is too important to be left to the end of the month. That’s why GTN’s Global SIM includes real-time spend tracking. You get full transparency of the costs for your mobile phone service, allowing you to monitor them and stay in charge of your spending.   

What’s more, if you have any queries, there’s one point of contact for you to deal with rather than multiple providers. GTN provides 24/7 support, so you can rely on the service wherever and whenever you’re working.
