CEDAR KNOLLS, N.J.-Personal communications services provider Omnipoint Communications Services Inc. began operational roaming with Libertel in the Netherlands and Europolitan in Sweden.
Although the companies’ networks operate in different frequencies, roaming is possible through subscriber identity module cards, a feature of Global System for Mobile communications-based networks. All of a customer’s normal services including voice-mail notification, short e-mail, paging and information services are functional while roaming, the company said.
Handsets designed for international roaming are available for rent or for sale at Omnipoint stores or through the company’s customer care department.
Omnipoint has other international roaming agreements with Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and Ireland.
