24 Seven MD and founder, David Samuel said: “24 Seven is addressing this demand for enhanced mobile communication technology with the national roaming SIM, ‘Jump’, which ensures improved connectivity throughout the UK by allowing devices to jump to another network when signal drops.
“With dependency on mobile technology rising for many businesses, there is a balance to be struck, and benefits to be found for both employer and employee. Collaborative working is vital to ensure security, safety and clear boundaries of responsibility that are becoming central to a successful telecoms strategy.”
The report showed smartphones are now the most widely owned connected device (used by 66 per cent of households), just ahead of laptops (used by 65 per cent).
