INTERNATIONAL
CALLS
For those who regularly make calls
to family members and friends
living abroad an MVNO could be
a good choice, as some MVNOs
specialise in the provision of low-
cost international calls. LycaMobile,
VOXI and SMARTY Mobile are
examples of such operators.
MULTI-NETWORK
SIMS
Several MVNOs have the facility
to roam across multiple networks,
reducing the amount of time that users
potentially spend without a signal.
UNLIMITED SOCIAL
DATA AND STREAMING
Some MVNOs offer their users
infinite social media data on their
plans as standard and allow for
unlimited or preferential video
streaming on platforms including
Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube.
SUPPORTING GOOD
CAUSES
Some MVNOs declare that they
donate a proportion of their income
to good causes. For example, Gemini
Mobile states that 5% of the value
of the customer goes to a charity
of their choice, and the Phone
Co-Op states that it supports social
organisations such as Fairphone and
invests in green energy.
