Business travelers are more aware than anyone of the cost of using their mobile phones abroad. What is an essential communication tool in the UK becomes an expensive luxury whilst abroad. Being charged to receive calls, inflated calling costs and per minute billing means international roaming can have a serious impact on the bottom line, but now 0044 Ltd provide an alternative solution.

The additional pressure on travel budgets can be avoided by using a new service provided by mobile roaming specialists 0044 Ltd. By purchasing Global SIM or an International SIM card (the small removable chip inside your handset) on the website at www.0044.co.uk and having your hand set unlocked, roaming charges can be avoided, all calls made are at local rates and incoming calls and texts are free in many destinations.

Business mobile users are confused and often frustrated by premium call charges of as much as £2.00pmin to make and receive calls whilst abroad, resulting in huge phone bills when they arrive back in the office. With a Global SIM or an International SIM card all of this extra cost can be avoided. And, with coverage in 130 countries the Global SIM or International SIM card is an ideal solution for frequent flyers wherever they travel across the globe.

Angus MacLeod, director of 0044 Ltd commented, “I needed to take my mobile abroad on business even though it was costing me a fortune, but my UK network could not present me with a cheap solution so I found one for myself. It kept me in control of my call costs, saved me a considerable amount of money and has now become a thriving business. Like many of the best ideas in life, our Global SIM card and foreign SIM card service is simple. 0044 offer a convenient solution for frequent flyers enabling them to keep in touch with customers, the office and with loved ones back home. The difference is that our service means that they don’t get left with a hole in their travel budget at the end of each quarter”.
