Roaming was designed for travellers, not for a fleet that lives in another country forever. Many operators restrict or block permanent roaming, the device gets throttled or cut off, and you find out only when units go dark in the field.
The Simsonic approach
- Hold a local identity for each major market on the same subscriber, so the device is a local subscriber, not a permanent roamer.
- Steer to that local identity automatically when the device is in-region.
- Fall back to roaming only as a safety net, never as the default.
Tip
If you are deploying the same device design across many countries, ask which markets need a dedicated local profile. It is the difference between a fleet that stays online and one that quietly degrades.
