Lancashire-based start-up Anywhere Sim to launch roaming mobile service

A Lancashire based start-up, Anywhere Sim, is preparing to launch its notspot-tackling service within the next five weeks.

The sim card will automatically switch between networks giving the users the best signal around, aimed at tackling areas where signal is bad in the UK.

The idea is not completely new, with a few companies offering the service aimed at the business market, however Anywhere Sim is launching its offering to the wider public.

Founder Matthew Wright said to the BBC that the service would appeal to, “people who have experienced coverage issues.

“So, people who live in rural locations.

“And those who travel a lot and experience notspots - for example people that spend a lot of time in caravans and those who pursue outdoor pursuits - cyclers, runners, walkers, anglers, there’s a long list that could benefit outside the big conurbations.”

The cost is more than an average phone contract or pay as you go option however Matthew Wright said that this was to be expected.
