PrivateGSM network roaming
Mobile users often change network: PrivateGSM automatically detects it and reacts properly reconnecting.
Roaming between different mobile network types and between cells is managed automatically by mobile operators and does not imply an IP address change. A cell change can create a short pause (some seconds).
Roaming between mobile network and WiFi network is managed by OS on iPhone and Android, while on Blackberry and Symbian is partially controlled by application.
PrivateGSM behavior depends on many factors, including mobile platform, network type and PrivateGSM state (idle or in-call).
