When employees travel overseas, expenses for use of wireless services can be very expensive. One reason for these high costs are the fees that are assessed each time a call crosses another country’s network and the related international roaming charges. Roaming fees are usually charged on a per-minute basis. They are determined by the service provider's pricing plan and local regulations. Some operators also charge a separate fee for the establishment of a call.

What do enterprises need to do today to manage an onslaught of new requests for help with establishing access to corporate e-mail and enterprise applications?
