Common Carrier Solutions:
Updating the properties of preferred (and forbidden) PLMN list in the roamer’s card SIM or UICC (Subscriber Identity Module or Universal Integrated Circuit Card) over the OTA platform (Over The Air),
Signalling-based steering methods are utilising the SS7 and Diameter signalling procedures (active signalling dialogue without any update on the cards).
A unique benefit of this method is that Apple devices bypass "Data Roaming OFF" button as long as the device is camping in any free-of-charge PLMN; the Carrier defines that!
Use Cases:
These features can be beneficial to steer roaming traffic according to the following use cases:
Global Carrier has a local entity in a given Country and would like to improve users satisfaction and experience by offering free-of-charge data services.
Supportive function for free-of-charge connectivity for bootstrap services by configuring roaming MNOs.
