How to roam this Christmas - even if you're in the UK
Using a UK mobile network in the UK has many benefits but recently published industry statistics demonstrate just how poor their coverage can be in certain UK locations. However, now the Global SIM card specialists www.0044.co.uk can provide a perfect solution for those visiting relatives in rural or remote areas who struggle with main network coverage, in the form of a new Global SIM card.
A unique benefit of the new Global SIM card is its ability to roam on available networks in a territory and this also applies to the UK. Recent updates from the main UK networks (O2, Vodafone, Orange and T.Mobile) confirm that, unlike a Global SIM card, their network coverage is concentrated on major towns and cities and this often means that large areas of rural or sparsely populated areas receive minimal coverage, if any. However, whilst one network may have no coverage in a rural location another network may well offer their service. With a Global SIM card the SIM will find the strongest signal automatically ensuring you receive continuous coverage across several networks, providing a service exits from one of the main operators. You can also search for a specific network manually on a global SIM card and the costs remain similar to main networks.
Angus MacLeod, director of 0044 Ltd commented, "We needed to take our mobile to a remote location in the South West of England for visiting family friends at New Year. The Global SIM card kept me linked into the strongest signal available and I was able to use the phone without the disruption that we normally experience. Like many of the best ideas in life, our Global SIM card service is simple. We aim to offer a value for money and easy to use service but with the added flexibility of being able to roam in the UK with our Global SIM card.
