International roaming.

Help travelling employees stay connected while improving visibility and control across roaming usage, costs and mobile access.

From travel planning and suitable roaming options to reporting and user support, international connectivity can be managed as part of your wider mobile estate.

TRAVELLING TEAMS

Manage roaming early to avoid costly surprises.

Employees travelling overseas still need access to calls, data, Microsoft Teams and business applications. Without the right planning, roaming can lead to unexpected charges, limited connectivity, greater reliance on public WiFi and last-minute support requests.

Different networks can also apply different roaming policies, allowances and charges depending on the destination. That makes international mobile harder to manage when users are spread across multiple networks or travelling to different countries.

A managed approach brings travel requirements, network options, usage visibility and support together, helping reduce surprises before people leave and while they are away.

Plan

Understand who is travelling, where they are going and what access they need.

Connect

Provide suitable calls and data options for the destination and expected usage.

Monitor

Review roaming activity and identify unusual or high-cost usage more quickly.

Control

Use suitable plans, reporting and account support to reduce unnecessary exposure.

Review

Adjust arrangements as destinations, travel frequency and working patterns change.

Cost, access and governance

Keep travellers connected and in control.

International working introduces additional considerations around cost, data access and user behaviour. Employees may connect through unfamiliar networks, rely on public WiFi or use more data than expected while away.

The right roaming setup helps reduce unexpected costs, keep business access available and give your teams clearer oversight while people are working abroad. When international access is aligned with mobile security, device management and identity policies, it can also support wider security and compliance requirements.

Fewer cost surprises

Review destinations and likely usage before travel, then use reporting to spot unusual or high-cost activity early.

Support access abroad

Use suitable calls and data options to help employees stay connected to colleagues, systems and supported applications.

Less reliance on public WiFi

Provide mobile data options that reduce the need to rely on unsecured public networks for everyday business access.

Clearer travel governance

Keep traveller, destination, plan and usage records visible to support approvals, policy reviews and internal oversight.

before you travel

Get the setup right before people leave.

Different networks, destinations and roaming policies can all affect cost and access. A quick review before travel helps make sure the right option is in place before the user lands.

Check the destination

Confirm coverage, roaming zones and any country-specific limitations before travel.

Compare network policies

Review allowances, charges and roaming rules across the networks being used.

Confirm business access

Check the apps, systems and security controls the traveller will need while abroad.

Prepare the traveller

Make sure roaming is enabled and users know what to expect before they leave.
