While it makes perfect sense to assume that business mobile phones purchased in the UK will work in the UK, if your staff regularly need to travel abroad you may want to be sure that you can stay in touch with them, wherever they are.
GSM phones use the standard predominant in both Europe and the USA, but in America the frequencies are slightly different. If your handset can deal with both European and American frequencies it will be known as a tri-band phone. These business mobile phones can be used all over Europe and the States, (if your SIM is enabled for international roaming).
Scandinavia and the Far East are a different kettle of fish: here you will require a quad-band phone but there are still a few areas of the world where only a mobile phone bought in that particular location will work reliably.
Keeping connected means more than just talking. For data transfer, GPRS (although relatively slow) is a reliable, tried and tested standard. Faster 3G modems are available throughout the UK and in many European locations as well.
If you regularly do business abroad, your needs will differ according to the countries you visit. Is there one handset that offers all the connectivity solutions you require? Telco Communications provide a number of business mobile phones and can offer impartial advice to ensure that you choose a handset which will enable your staff to remain connected the vast majority of the time they travel abroad for business purposes.
