How to reduce international data roaming costs for employees on business trips?

International mobile internet roaming charges are a frequent source of budget overruns for businesses, often uncontrolled. When an employee goes on assignment abroad, their data usage can quickly generate unforeseen costs: video conferencing, sending large files, synchronizing cloud tools, or browsing business platforms.

Traditional operators often charge high roaming rates, which vary by country, without offering real-time visibility into usage. As a result, IT teams suffer from a lack of control, and businesses receive high bills that are difficult to predict.


Ubigi for Business, the solution to reduce roaming charges by up to 90%:

1. International data plans negotiated at near-local rates
Ubigi for Business offers tailor-made local and regional plans, adapted to major geographic areas (Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East, etc.). Thanks to direct agreements with more than 300 mobile operators worldwide, your employees benefit from near-local connectivity in more than 200 destinations, without traditional roaming charges.

2. Transparent and centralized billing
All data usage is consolidated into a clear billing system with no hidden fees, with real-time visibility of usage by employee. No more surprises at the end of the month; you control your international telecom budget.

3. Instant activation with eSIM to respond to emergencies
Ubigise eSIM plans are activated in just a few minutes after receiving a QR code by email. This saves employees from having to purchase a local SIM card or activate an emergency roaming plan, which is often charged at a high price.
This immediate activation guarantees a connection upon arrival at your destination, for better cost control from the start.

4. Personalized alerts to anticipate overages
Thanks to the SIM management platform, administrators can configure threshold-based usage alerts, automatically sent to users or IT. This allows for intervention before overages occur.

5. A mobile application to independently manage usage
The Ubigi application allows each employee to track their data usage and activate a new plan if necessary, without contacting the IT team. This helps avoid uncontrolled usage and unexpected bills.
