Roaming at home over the Easter break
Using a mobile network in the UK has many benefits but recently published industry statistics demonstrate just how poor their coverage can be in certain UK destinations. However, now the International SIM 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 International SIM.
A unique benefit of the new International SIM is its ability to roam on available networks in a geographical territory and this also applies to the UK. Recent updates from the main UK networks (O2, Vodafone, Orange and T.Mobile) confirm that, unlike an International SIM, 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 an International SIM 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 an International SIM 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 Scotland whilst visiting family friends at New Year. The International SIM kept us 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 International SIM 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.
