AwayPhone

With the advent of internet routing technology known as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), AwayPhone provides VoIP as a separate function on your mobile handset for when you need to use your phone abroad.

AwayPhone users simply drop its alternative routing SIM into their mobile phone once they leave the UK. In addition to saving the user the hassle of having to fiddle around trying to connect to a Wi-Fi network, the technology means they no longer have to worry about working out whether it’s pay per minute and the varying charges.

By contrast, AwayPhone provides the customer with a separate SIM card and activation code that links their regular mobile number into the company’s system so they can still receive every phone call while abroad.

With the quality of IP technology improving over the last few years, so too has the strength of AwayPhone’s service which today operates in 78 countries.
