- Nokia handset maker HMD Global quietly announced a global roaming data-only service called HMD Connect.
- The SIM card comes with 1GB of bonus data, after which you pay for the data you need while roaming in chunks of up to 1GB, depending on the country you’re in.
- The service can be managed from an app that’s already available in the Play Store, but doesn’t include voice minutes or regular texting.

HMD Global should be a known commodity to Android fans by now, as it’s the company that now makes Nokia-branded smartphones. It turns out the company has more ambitious plans in mind than just selling phones, as it has quietly launched a brand new service that will benefit frequent travelers.
Called HMD Connect, the service is a pay-as-you-go global roaming internet service that works in more than 120 countries. The launch couldn’t have occurred at a worse time, however, as the “hassle-free data SIM” isn’t of much use in a world that’s currently preventing any unnecessary travel. Travel between Europe and the US is halted at this time, and several countries have instituted travel bans of their own to fight the COVID-19 outbreak.
