What is roaming?
You do not know what roaming is?
International roaming service is the process of providing mobile communications services to a subscriber located outside the coverage area of its "domestic" network using the resources of another operator’s network. At the same time, fees for international services are deducted from the subscriber's account. The subscriber's phone number remains unchanged in roaming. The Internet account statement service while staying in roaming is also available.
There are several types of roaming services, of which there are basically two: national roaming (which means that you are using a network of another mobile operator within the same country, but everything happens under certain conditions. For example: if you are going to India, this type of roaming services is the most common here) and international roaming (you are using the network of a foreign provider. This roaming is easiest to work in the GSM standard (which is among our offers) and enjoys great popularity (about 80% of the operators)). Besides, you can connect to GPRS while being in roaming, and the Internet for iPhone and iPad is quick and easy to connect thanks to Simtravel’s offers.
When choosing roaming and being guided by work of your operator’s service, you are tracking the cost of calls you are making while staying in the territory or abroad.
