Your Mobile Experience: How GTN Makes Roaming Feel Like Home

Home is where you feel comfortable and secure. These days, our homes are often places of work as well as rest. Broadband, Wi-Fi and smart homes mean you can work from home as easily as if you were in your office.

There’s no difference between calling from a conference room in your office or the kitchen table in your home. You take it for granted that you’ll have a signal wherever you’re standing. Customer details are available from your CRM at the touch of a button. What’s more, you can hold a video call without worrying about connectivity or bandwidth.

However, too often when you travel, that’s not the case. In this article, we’ll explore the challenges with connectivity when you’re working away from home and how GTN helps you solve them.

Mobile problems when you travel abroad

Travelling for work means working while you travel. The first challenge you may face is having poor coverage in areas you need to visit. Mobile black spots or unreliable coverage when you’re abroad stop you from working and leave you feeling frustrated. The work you can’t do because of poor coverage still has to be done and only adds to your must-do list.

Staying connected in other countries and regions means you’ve got to rely on different providers from the ones you use at home. While these can overcome coverage problems, they also introduce new challenges. You’ve got the extra complexity of taking out contracts with multiple providers. Plus, you may have to use off-the-shelf packages that are not the right fit for your business.

Global travel also increases the risk that you’ll be hit by unexpected mobile charges. Roaming opens your business up to premium charges from the mobile provider. Whether you plan to make calls, respond to emails or access your company’s systems, expensive roaming charges become the cost of doing business abroad.

Business continuity across borders with GTN

GTN provides solutions that help businesses to be productive from anywhere in the world. Whether you have satellite offices, remote workers, international teams or global customers, reliable and cost-effective voice and data services are essential for running your business successfully.

Global SIMs: Making roaming easier

Global SIMs give you the same connectivity while you're travelling that you receive at home. They instantly pick up the strongest local network for you, wherever you are. It doesn't matter whether you're crossing countries or moving around a region; with a Global SIM you've got the peace of mind of complete coverage.

GTN's service offers removable SIM cards that work across multiple networks or eSIMs embedded in the device. Both options help you stay connected when you're away from home.

Stay connected when you travel

Wherever you need to visit in the world, a Global SIM ensures you can continue working as if you were at home. GTN's decades of experience with mobile network providers enable us to provide coverage across over 180 countries.

Simplify your mobile contracts

Global SIMs remove the need to sign multiple contracts with different mobile network providers. As the Global SIM automatically switches to the best network depending on where you are, you only need one mobile plan. A single plan also means a single invoice, which simplifies your billing and contract management.

Cut your roaming costs

Without a Global SIM, you run the risk of high roaming charges. But by using a single mobile plan that provides coverage wherever you go, you can cut your roaming costs compared to a domestic mobile contract.

Manage your mobile bills with ease

Tracking your costs is essential with mobile contracts. GTN's service allows you to check and monitor costs in real time. No more waiting until the end of the month for a nasty surprise. GTN also has a single point of contact to answer any queries and provides 24/7 support.

Mobile Broadband: Seamless data connectivity

Mobile broadband gives you access to wireless internet on the go. Without the need for a fixed connection or Wi-Fi, you can browse the internet, make video calls and use business apps. Using 4G and 5G mobile internet gives you connectivity wherever and whenever you need it.

Reliable backup for internet connection

As a business traveller, you may plan to use your hotel Wi-Fi or an internet connection at your destination. However, service interruptions or outages could stop you from working. Mobile broadband gives you a backup if there are any disruptions with the fixed internet connection.

Help your teams collaborate

Providing mobile broadband to your team removes any barriers to them working together. Real-time data sharing is as simple as if they were sitting next to each other. Team members can also use video calls to share information or involve other people in a meeting taking place at a customer site, a supplier's office or an industry trade show.

Tailor a mobile package to your business

GTN's mobile services are designed around your needs. That means a mobile broadband service customised to your business. With regular account reviews and round-the-clock support, you have business continuity built in wherever your teams are travelling.

Smart cost management for your contract

Check and review your contract costs in real time through your account portal. With support from our experienced mobile experts, you can avoid bill shocks and get help to optimise the usage across your service.

Roam from anywhere with ease

Equip your teams with the best mobile service so they feel as connected as if they were at home. With Global SIMs and mobile broadband, you can ensure they have reliable coverage while you simplify your mobile contracts and cut down on your roaming costs.
