ExclusiveTop tips in Mobile Device Management

David Akka writes:

The issue of choosing the right MDM solution has become more and more pressing, especially for companies implementing a Bring Your Own Device policy. The market place is becoming increasingly crowded with 50 or so vendors who now position themselves as MDMs. Some vendors offer application sharing, some multitenant management, other vendors have a heritage in security or a different strength all together. For organisations considering which option is best it is important to discern between the best known names or the most expensive solutions and select an MDM solution that is fit for purpose.

Ofcom helps protect customers against unexpected roaming charges

New rules from UK telecoms regulator Ofcom will protect customers when they use their mobile phone on a foreign network.

When the UK left the European Union, networks were no longer required to apply EU rules that let customers 'roam like at home' without paying extra. There was also no legal requirement to warn customers about 'roaming' charges when they connected to a network abroad, although many networks still chose to do so.

New Ofcom rules from October 2024 now mean mobile network providers must notify customers when they start roaming. The network providers must also provide clear information to help customers decide whether or how to use their mobile phone abroad.

Information about roaming charges will include:

  • any fair use limits or time limits that apply;
  • setting a spend cap to limit their spend; and
  • where to find additional information about roaming.


In addition, customers will be alerted if they are inadvertently roaming, perhaps because they're near an international border. As part of this, networks must enable customers to reduce or limit their spending on roaming while in the UK.
