Permanent roaming

A device staying on a foreign network indefinitely; some countries and operators restrict or forbid it.

IoT devices often live abroad for their whole life, unlike travellers. Some regulators and operators limit this, and can block devices that roam permanently.

Why it matters for business

Check permanent-roaming rules for every target country before launch. Local profiles via eSIM or local partners are the usual way round restrictions.
