Why does this story matter?
When you travel outside the geographical limit of your mobile service provider, an international roaming pack makes it possible for you to connect/receive calls and share messages, using another mobile network carrier. Using an international roaming plan, you can freely travel anywhere in the world while staying connected with your contacts. All you have to do is recharge your phone before you leave.
How does international roaming work?
With an international roaming service, individuals can keep using their smartphone to communicate, while being in another country. When abroad, the user's mobile communicates with a visited country's network, which then picks up the connection, determines whether it is registered, and identifies the user's home network. A connection is established when there's a roaming agreement between the home network and visited country's mobile network.
