Why would I use Network Steering?

Network Steering is useful when you need to: optimize for better signal strength in specific locations, avoid network congestion, maintain consistent connectivity with a preferred operator, test different networks for performance comparison, or comply with specific network requirements for your IoT deployment.

Can I use Network Steering internationally?

Yes, KeySIM Network Steering works both in the UK and globally. You can select preferred networks in any country where KeySIM has roaming agreements, giving you control over international network selection for your IoT devices.

Which UK networks can I steer to?

KeySIM allows network steering to all major UK networks including Vodafone, EE, O2, and Three, depending on your KeySIM package and multi-network capabilities.

Is there an additional cost for Network Steering?

Network Steering is included as a standard feature with KeySIM multi-network packages. There are no additional fees for using the Network Steerer tool to control your network selection.

Network Steering UK & Global | Control Your Multi-Network SIM

What is Network Steering?

Network Steering gives you complete control over which mobile network your KeySIM connects to. Instead of relying on automatic network selection, you can manually choose your preferred operator in the UK or internationally.

This powerful feature allows you to optimize connectivity based on signal strength, network performance, cost, or specific deployment requirements.

Why Use Network Steering?

Optimize Signal Strength

Different networks have varying coverage in different locations. Network Steering lets you choose the operator with the strongest signal for your specific deployment area.

Avoid Network Congestion

At busy events or in crowded areas, switch to less congested networks to maintain consistent connectivity when automatic selection might pick an overloaded operator.

Control Costs

Select networks based on your roaming agreements and pricing structures to optimize costs for international deployments.

Testing & Optimization

Test different networks to compare performance, latency, and reliability before committing to a specific operator for your IoT deployment.

Global Control

Manage network selection not just in the UK, but internationally across all countries where KeySIM provides roaming coverage.

Compliance & Requirements

Meet specific network requirements or compliance needs by ensuring your devices connect to approved operators.
