What Roaming By Me does

Roaming By Me is a French-headquartered global mobile internet operator operated by Altercamino SASU (founded 2014, legal seat in Fontvieille, operational presence in Marseille), with additional offices in Mexico City and San Francisco. The company provides unlimited 4G LTE mobile data to business travelers and IoT devices across 200+ countries, leveraging a partner network of local mobile operators and a proprietary automatic cheapest-network selection technology that delivers 70-99% cost savings versus traditional carrier roaming. Its product portfolio centers on the Pocket WiFi PRO MAX 4G hardware device (28-hour battery, 10 simultaneous connections, integrated powerbank cables), eSIM and SIM card solutions, and a corporate Fleet Management Extranet with ERP integration and a Duty of Care traveler localization service.

The company operates a hybrid business model combining consumer self-serve e-commerce with enterprise direct sales. Consumer customers purchase the Pocket WiFi device for €149 (excl. VAT) and activate prepaid Day Passes at €12/day for unlimited 4G LTE across 163 countries via the customer portal. Corporate clients subscribe to monthly/annual plans starting at €29/month per device with cost-center billing, ERP integration, and monthly consumption/savings reporting; one disclosed enterprise deployment spans 110 international subsidiaries, offices, and export zones. Distribution combines a trilingual (EN/FR/ES) e-commerce storefront, a dedicated enterprise sales motion, and a partnership channel via the Alliance Biz Travel coalition of 10 business travel companies. Over 200 companies are cited as customers, with named logos including Imprimerie Nationale, Pierre Fabre, EDF, and Selectour.

The organization is lean, with 1-10 employees and a three-person core team (Jacques Deleuze, CEO/founder; Monica, CTO/co-founder; Humberto, Dev & Telco Specialist), and operates without disclosed external institutional funding. The company has accumulated credibility through selection for the Web Summit Alpha program, the ACSEL Rising Startup designation, and the Marius prize at Shake Your e-commerce. Core technology differentiators are the automated cheapest-network selection engine, the encrypted Pocket WiFi hardware form factor, and the Duty of Care duty-of-care compliance feature that identifies travelers via their last local-network connection attempt during emergencies.
