The Chinese company has unveiled a brand-new SIM-free data service dubbed OnePlus Roaming with the most recent Oxygen OS Open Beta 7 update for the OnePlus 6.
This service will let you access cellular data without having to go through the hassle of purchasing a local SIM card abroad, according to the official changelog from the OnePlus Forums. This significantly minimises labour since you can now choose a suitable data pack from the app’s settings. Anyone who has utilised Project Fi from Google ought to be very familiar with this.
It s like a virtual SIM and should work globally in most of the countries or regions
It’s vital to remember that OnePlus Roaming does not support voice calls; only data services. For voice calls over the internet, you can rely on well-known messaging services like WhatsApp, Telegram, or even Facebook Messenger.
