Since the launch of its CelTrek SIM card, Global Roaming Group (GRDB.OB) has developed new relationships with international companies in Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia. Due to the success of the CelTrek SIM card, the company has fast-tracked their plans for new advances and increased website capabilities. Even with the tremendous growth in recent months, Global realizes the importance of continuing strong domestic relationships.
Global is headquartered in Miami and is committed to contributing to the community. The company is a member of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and The National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO). The company has extended up to 90 percent discounts on its SIMS cards to members of the Greater Miami Chamber to assist local companies whose employees must travel internationally. Global recognizes that Miami is a hub for international business and realizes that providing this type of benefit to local businesses will assist in the growth of the local economy. The discounted SIM cards will allow business travelers to reduce the high costs of cellular communications.
On a national level, Global has provided government and relief agencies with SIM cards at up to a 70 percent discount, to be distributed amongst the military forces in Iraq. The company was also approached by one of the international relief agencies to provide a more affordable cellular option for their field agents. Global Roaming was able to save the agency up to 90 percent of what the agents would normally spend. Using the CelTrek SIM card also allowed the field agents to make cellular connections in more than 165 countries.
Global Roaming Group currently has over 350 network operator agreements and is working to expand the coverage accessible through the CelTrek SIM card. The CelTrek is a pre-paid service with no contract or minimum usage requirements. Users purchase the SIM cards, airtime, and phone, and then manage their account online via www.celtrek.com.
Cellular communication to a wide-range of countries at a more affordable price is a combination that most business travelers yearn to obtain. Global Roaming Group is a company focused on tending to the needs of its local and international clients.
Global Roaming Distribution, Inc. (GRDB.OB) Responds to Industry’s Call for Innovation
Today’s telecom firms are subject to far greater rivalry than anything previously experienced. More than 60 percent of technology executives admit to the disruption caused by the entry of new competition that boasts more up-to-date products and services. Even the largest network carriers can be outdone by a company with a solid idea. That’s where Global Roaming Distribution comes into play.
Through its CelTrek subsidiary, Global Roaming is pushing the envelope in creating freedom for cell users everywhere. They are causing large carriers to re-assess the plausibility of continuing to offer traditional roaming solutions. As any international traveler can tell you, the roaming charges forced onto your phone bill by a domestic provider can border on the criminal.
Up till now, in an almost monopolistic fashion, there has been little or no industry alternative to this problem, short of leaving your phone behind on a long trip. CelTrek is the remedy for this injustice. Using specially designed, instantly rechargeable SIM cards, CelTrek proudly boasts roaming rates in excess of 90 percent cheaper than its competition.
These cards are designed with the global traveler in mind, and are shockingly affordable. They offer the transmission/reception of SMS text messages, voicemail, call-conferencing and more; all of the services to which you are accustomed. The cards can be purchased online for as little as $29 when associated airtime is purchased. Because of Global Roaming’s CelTrek, no longer will placing an overseas call to your loved ones become a critical spending decision.
Global Roaming Distribution, Inc. (GRDB.OB) Has Opportunities for Growth
Global Roaming Distribution (GRDG.OB) is a group of companies focused on adding functionality and flexibility to the telecommunications business. All the companies within Global Roaming center on providing the CelTrek™ to their regions. The company has distribution plans for those interested taking an active role in the expansion of Global. Global Roaming Distribution offers various programs to resellers, developers, and a White Label solution for those who want to build their own branded SIM card product.
The developer program allows individuals to create their own business strategy to sell Global’s products with the help of a set of Web Services (API). A developer can access the CelTrek™ API Functionalities (CAF) through a one-time set up fee of $349 and monthly charges of $99. The last step for a developer would be stocking up on SIM cards and Airtime packages. Typically, a developer starts business with a minimum of 100 SIM cards and $2500 in airtime in their account.
The reseller program allows anyone to purchase the products directly from CelTrek™. A reseller will then stock SIM cards and Airtime to a reseller account where products can be sold on http://www.reseller.celtrek.com/. A reseller has the ability to activate customers, recharge their SIM cards, and assign phone numbers (DIDs) through the website, and receives a commission (up to 20 percent) if a customer charges the reseller directly or charges the CelTrek™ site. Resellers can choose to set prices at a different scale than CelTrek™, but clients must recharge airtime directly with their reseller.
The White Label Solution (WLS) is an all-inclusive package featuring a customized website, a business branding system, Advanced Technical Support (ATS), and all the features of the developer program. Utilizing the WLS option, customers do not need to know about the relationship with CelTrek™. The customer can be a part of the CelTrek™ server’s infrastructure or can be set up on the customer’s own hosting configuration.
There are a number of levels to the WLS program. The Basic level allows businesses to sell, activate, and assign DIDs to one customer’s SIM card a time. The Bronze level provides a website to sell the Global products and services. The Silver level provides the Bronze level services along with an Affiliates program. The Platinum level provides a resellers program under a business along with all the benefits of the prior levels. Lastly, there is a custom-based level that can be configured any number of ways to meet any individual’s unique needs.
Global has opportunities for those who want to join in their expanding business. The CelTrek™ is the only SIM card that can provide mobile access to 165 countries with a local U.S. phone number. With an ever growing number of alliances with telecommunication companies throughout the world, the benefits of the CelTrek™ SIMCard are a major selling point to all business and international travelers.

Global Roaming Distribution Inc. (GRDB.OB) Announces New Features, Hits Number One Spot Among U.S. Travelers Abroad
Global Roaming Distribution (OTCBB:GRDB) announced new features and improvements to the company’s premier offering, the CelTrek™ Global roaming SIM card. Global Roaming Distribution, a telecommunications holding company focused on providing extremely low-cost roaming solutions for corporations and leisure travelers around the globe via its SIM card, provided details of these new features.
Using the SIM card, a customer can now use call forwarding via the Web to any number worldwide. In other words, a CelTrek™ user can forward his or her unique CelTrek™ phone number to a personal U.S. number when back home, and can also forward any continental U.S. or international number to his CelTrek™ phone.
CelTrek™ now also offers caller ID. The CelTrek™ phone number will be displayed whenever a user makes an outgoing call. In addition to this invaluable feature, allowing friends and business associates to identify callers through their cell phone numbers, Global Roaming also offers additional options for recharging cell phone airtime, either via the CelTrek™ phone itself with a pin code, or by using “scratch card” top ups, or via an Automatic Recharge web-based tool, which allows both resellers and direct users to manage their account on a SIM-by-SIM basis according to need and established security thresholds. These security features, which allow the blocking of SIM cards, are another valuable feature. Global Roaming also offers new account access through the SIM menu, and customers can view their account balance or their number and add credit as needed. All these enhanced features are now available through a dramatically increased number of compatible phones and other devices.
Global Roaming’s CelTrek™ SIM Card provides 24/7 online billing, full-service, international roaming coverage, and enhanced security, as well as two sets of benefits that literally beat out the competition, namely price and calling range. At up to 90 percent less than current roaming charges from other companies, Global Roaming’s CelTrek™ offers coverage in 165 countries on all continents under the aegis of partnerships with 350 GSM systems worldwide, all via a single phone and U.S. phone number. CelTrek™, with its added features like call forwarding and caller ID, transforms a cell phone into a full-featured telephone system no matter where the customer finds himself. These advantages also propel Global Roaming to the head of the international calling marketplace, and will surely attract more customers who have previously been under the onus of changing cell phones as they change countries.
Cost, flexibility and simplicity are the keynote features that have propelled Global Roaming Distribution into the number one spot among international travelers from the U.S., and the addition of key calling features only strengthens this position.
