Terrified of roaming charges when you travel internationally? Don’t worry; you’re not alone. There are so many stories out there of travellers thinking they had roaming switched off or thought their supplier covered that country, and it turns out they didn’t.
Even knowledgeable travellers who have been burnt before and now have country-specific SIM cards or only use their phone when accessing free Wi-Fi networks.
What if I told you that you could make calls from anywhere in the world without expensive roaming charges or having to carry around country-specific SIM cards?
One of our clients is an importer and travels internationally regularly. Her usual destinations were the Middle East and Asia, where roaming was unavailable. She needed to make and receive calls on her mobile whenever she was overseas.
The country-specific SIM card shortcut (if you can call it that) wouldn’t work either. Because with each SIM card, you have a different phone number. So, her calls would not be answered because the client did not recognise the number, and if her clients were trying to call her, it would go to answerphone because that SIM was safely tucked away somewhere. Add the time differences when you travel; you can imagine how frustrating that situation would get.
We provide a way to make and receive calls through a mobile app as long as you have an internet connection and a SIM card that allows you to roam. You can be overseas and when you phone a client back in New Zealand, the caller ID will show your New Zealand business number – they won’t know where you are calling from.
This importer now has a professional communication set up for her business. When travelling, she forwards her mobile to her Auckland landline, which rings directly on her mobile app. She can also make outbound calls from her app at local New Zealand rates to any New Zealand number.
VoIP, short for Voice Over Internet Protocol, transforms your voice into a digital signal and transmits it over the internet, eliminating the need for a traditional landline connection. Combine this with our mobile app and a roaming SIM card; you look great, contactable, and local.
And this solution that fixed her travelling issues was only $10+gst per month on top of whatever she was currently paying her mobile phone provider.
• Have an Auckland (09) local number connection using the mobile app.
• Forward your mobile to the (09) number when travelling and receive all your calls through the app (looks like the image on the right).
• Callers to your mobile can now ring directly if you have internet access.
• Make outbound calls to any NZ number from your app at local rates.
• International calls from the mobile app are cheaper than mobile international rates.
