Do dreadful download speeds keep you and your colleagues shackled to the hotel Wi-Fi when working abroad? Are you paying over the odds for an alleged ‘mobile service'? 

Summarize this article with AI

 

If so, you're not alone. Expensive and unreliable mobile services are common for global employees who travel. For most of them, most of the time, crawling data speeds, high roaming rates and inferior voice quality are the norm. 

 

It doesn't have to be this way. At 1GLOBAL, we can solve all of these problems. 

 

Entrenched systems  

Traditional networks were not designed with international calls and data as a priority. They suffer from a serious design flaw: they always 'phone home'. When you make a call abroad, it's first routed back to your domestic network and is only then routed to the final international destination. 

 

Because of this, voice and data traffic often travels unnecessarily distances, via a chain of third-party links. This convoluted and needlessly-extended journey means increased costs, line delays, and latency on your connection. Data rates slow. Voice quality degrades. 

 

Traditional mobile operators don't have a truly global solution, just a patchwork of networks. They don't have the technology or infrastructure to fix this. 1GLOBAL does. 

 

A home phone experience 

Our solution offers faster and superior coverage on one global plan, with one truly global network. 

 

How? By changing the way International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) numbers works on your eSIM or SIM card. The IMSI identifies your home network to a foreign one. So, if you're in Berlin and make a call to New York, the IMSI first sends your call back to your home, Berlin. Only afterwards does your call route internationally to New York. 

 

If you use these roundabout routes it means higher costs and lower quality. 

 

One SIM. Multiple numbers 

With 1GLOBAL you'll have a unique eSIM or SIM card with multiple IMSI numbers for international networks. When you or a colleague land in one of these countries, your device registers as a local subscriber thus giving you a reliable, home-like experience. 

 

You can have up to eight international phone numbers on your SIM or eSIM profile, saving you money. Your clients in these markets can also save money as they're only charged for a local call. 

 

Better business, worldwide 

The advantages of our patented technology and unique global network have attracted thousands of corporate customers, including brands like Citibank, Netflix and Revolut.
