Your people travel, the company pays, nobody buys a second phone

What you set, and what the server refuses

• A monthly cap per person, and a cap per single purchase.
• The largest plan allowed, in GB.
• Which destinations the company pays for. Outside that list the employee can still buy, with their own card.
• Whether top ups are covered.

What we do not do, said before you ask

• No invoices yet: the account runs on a prepaid balance.
• An account is opened by us, with a conversation, not by signing up on this page.
• Data only: no phone number, no calls, no SMS. The employee's own line stays in the phone for their work number and their security codes.
• One eSIM installs on one phone, so ten travellers are ten eSIMs.

The guides behind all this

Written for the person who has to decide, with the sources named and the awkward parts left in.

• How much does roaming actually cost your company? The method, in four bucketsTwelve months of mobile invoices, four kinds of charge separated, a count of travellers and trips, and one number: cost per traveller per trip. With a worked example and the assumptions written out.
• How to give employees eSIMs: the rollout, the four decisions, and what breaksThe company pays, the employee installs on their own phone. What a manager sets before the first trip, what the app says when a purchase is outside the rules, and the three failure modes worth planning for.
• Can my employer see my phone usage on a company paid eSIM?On a Wigoo company account the employer sees spend, destinations and who. It does not see data consumption, and it never sees browsing, location or message content. Why the line is there, and how a company phone differs.
• Business eSIM explained: two different products with the same nameOne is a carrier line with a company phone number on it. The other is data for a trip, with no number, no calls and no SMS. Which one your company actually needs, and what each one does not do.
• Can I add an eSIM to my work phone? Why the button is missing, and what to ask ITFour different things stop an eSIM going onto a company phone: a supervised device with the restriction on, a carrier lock, an Android or Knox policy, and a full slot. How to tell which, with the vendor documentation.
• Roaming bill shock on a work trip: the five real causes, and the setting that stops each oneA country outside the zone, a ship or aircraft network, a laptop syncing on the hotspot, a pass that expired mid trip, and a second line left on data. What each one costs, and who ends up paying.
• How much data do you need for a work trip?The business travel version of the question: Teams, Zoom, screen sharing, a VPN and a tethered laptop. Per hour figures from Microsoft and Zoom's own documentation, and a per day number for three kinds of traveller.

Questions we get asked

Does the employee need a second phone or a second number?

No. The eSIM is a data profile on the phone they already carry. Their own line stays installed, so the work number keeps ringing and the SMS codes keep arriving.

What happens if someone goes over the cap?

The purchase is refused before the payment, with the reason on screen, and they can still buy it with their own card. The owner gets an email at ninety per cent and when someone tries to go over.

Can we see how much data an employee used?

No, and that is deliberate. The company sees spend, destination and who. Consumption belongs to the person, like the rest of what happens on their phone.
