Bill shock is a problem for businesses as well as individuals. Nobody likes to be worrying about the cost of the data needed to check their emails, access their company’s portal and browse the internet whilst they’re away for work. In addition, everyone wants to ensure that they will actually have network coverage and speedy down and uploads whilst they are abroad.
Using your local carrier may make sense if you are only travelling to a neighbouring country. But if you are going further afield, chances are, they won’t have the best rates. So, if you are in Australia, doing business in Europe, or in Hong Kong and travelling frequently to Central Asia, your company may be paying much more than it should to keep you connected. That’s where Telecom26 and Enterprise Data Extra comes in.
Telecom26’s Enterprise Data Extra service is a flexible alternative that you can use alongside an existing mobile subscription, switching to it when you visit China, Kazakhstan, Kenya – or France. In fact, any country not well-served by your current provider. It reduces travel costs while providing dependable, secure mobile data connectivity, keeping your team connected and protecting your bottom line.
Telecom26’s Enterprise Data Extra service has been specifically designed to meet the needs of business travellers with their employers able to customise corporate packages for the specific countries where they do business – and where their people need to visit.
The service provides mobile data access in more than 200 countries, so business users can easily access data on their mobile – or tether for laptop applications.
Enterprise Data Extra is available as an eSIM so users can keep their domestic physical SIM card - and re-activate when they return home.
Better still, Enterprise Data Extra is backed by boutique customer support solutions to give business travellers the personalised care they need – and deserve.
Businesses of all sizes across the world are now using Enterprise Data Extra. You can read our case study Large Bank Chooses Telecom26’s eSIMs and Global Mobile Connectivity Service here. Hundreds of the bank’s employees travel regularly to meet clients and visit the bank’s offices spread across 90 countries. They now use Telecom26’s network. Why?
Put simply, because life with Telecom26 is more convenient, more cost-effective and more reliable than the alternatives of using your domestic carrier when abroad which are: continuing to use their domestic SIM and/or picking up a local prepaid SIM when they arrive in a new country.
Using a domestic SIM when abroad runs the risk of ‘bill shock’ on return. Even the daily packages available for data abroad can mount up. Never forget that roaming is a cash cow for traditional operators.
Meanwhile buying a local prepaid SIM card seems like a good idea if you can face the queues at the airport. But really this is only convenient for when you’re visiting one country. Users need to be alert when visiting areas that are close to country borders as it’s easy for phones to jump to other networks not aligned with the prepaid operator’s packages.
Other drawbacks are that most large local carriers charge more, cover less, and don’t remember your name when you call. Worse, Travel and Tourist SIM card offerings rarely give you portal access for enterprise-wide control and transparency into your organisation’s usage, billing, and services.
