Ofcom has recently published UK mobile network GSM coverage maps for the main UK networks which demonstrate how patchy mobile coverage can be in an established market like the UK. However, a new Global SIM or International SIM card from 0044.co.uk means that you can now use all main UK networks in the UK and therefore benefit from the strongest available signal. Using the Global SIM or International SIM also means that calls within the UK will be similar to those rates they pay on UK networks.

The main UK mobile networks in the UK still do not cover 100% of the country and large sections of rural areas, particularly in Scotland and Wales, are not covered at all. With the new 0044 Global SIM and International SIM cards all you need to do is purchase on-line at www.0044.co.uk and enjoy the ability to roam with any network at normal rates. The Global SIM will switch automatically to the strongest signal or you can select a preferred network manually. Incoming calls are free on the Global SIM and International SIM cards and the SIM has a UK (Isle of Man) number range.

Angus MacLeod of 0044 Ltd commented, We’ve been helping consumers avoid roaming charges for several years now when they travel abroad. However, our Global SIM and International SIM service means that consumers can effectively use their mobile in the UK and avoid the perennial problem of signal strength disappearing due to the remoteness of their location. It’s ideal for tourists or those people who live and work in more remote regions of the UK.
