HMD Global, the company behind Nokia-branded smartphones has announced HMD Connect, a global data roaming service targeted at frequently travelling customers. The company also announced new smartphones such as Nokia 8.3, its first 5G smartphone, Nokia 5.3, and Nokia 1.3 in the same launch video stream.

The Finnish company HMD Global is known for its Nokia-branded smartphones and feature phones for years now.  But this is the first time the company is launching a service. HMD Connect is a global data roaming service, which will work in more than 120 countries. The supported countries by the service are categorized into three zones based on the amount of roaming internet data users can purchase.

The HMD Connect service can be subscribed by paying €19.95, which comes with a SIM card and 1GB of international roaming internet data. Once the user exhausts that data, they can purchase additional data starting at €9.95 for 1GB, followed by €5 for every additional gigabyte. However, it is worth noting that the data plans are not the same in every region as Zone 3 countries are limited to only 250 MB plan. Further, the validity of all plans is only up to 14 days. And most importantly, this service only supports mobile internet (likely 4G) and cannot be used to make calls or send SMS.

All the above-mentioned things can be carried out easily on the company’s official HMD Connect Android app or website. Hit the source link for more details.
