Hello Mobile Launches 'Half-Price Communication Fees and No-Contract Installments' Product

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Hello Mobile has launched a ‘No-Contract Phone Installment’ service combined with half-price plans without contracts.

According to LG HelloVision on the 3rd, the ‘No-Contract Phone Installment’ service simultaneously offers ▲phone installment purchase (24 months) ▲no-contract plans (up to 82% cheaper compared to other carriers). The eligible devices include a total of six mid-range models. These include the ‘BlackBerry Key2 2 models (64GB, 128GB)’, ▲the representative cost-effective mid-range phones ‘Galaxy A series 2 models (A30, A31)’, ▲the budget premium phone ‘Galaxy S10e’, and ▲a simple folder phone with core functions, the ‘LG Folder’.

The dedicated plans include four device payment plans that retain the benefits of Hello Mobile’s steady-selling USIM products. From ultra-low-cost to unlimited plans reflecting customers’ segmented needs, the lineup includes the fully unlimited plan at half the price of major carriers, ‘No-Contract Call & Data Freely 11GB (33,000 KRW)’, and the cost-effective plan ‘No-Contract 2GB 200 minutes (7,700 KRW)’, which is 82% cheaper than other carriers.

This service presents the most certain way to minimize customers’ monthly communication expenses. For example, when subscribing to the service with the combination of ‘Galaxy S10e + half-price unlimited plan’, the monthly communication cost is about 21% lower than when subscribing with a carrier’s contract discount. Additionally, with a maximum monthly discount of 20,000 KRW via affiliated cards (based on previous month’s usage), customers can save approximately 930,000 KRW over two years.

The usage procedure is also simple. Customers select their desired device and plan on the Hello Mobile Direct Mall’s ‘No-Contract Phone Installment’ page, subscribe, and then receive the product within one day through the Lightning Delivery service. Woo Sang-young, Head of LG HelloVision Mobile Business Group, said, “As consumers seeking reasonable benefits from budget phone USIMs have surged recently, we have prepared a user-centered service so that customers wishing to purchase new phones can also enjoy the effect of half-price communication fees. We will further diversify the device and plan lineup in the future to establish this as a practical alternative for reducing household communication expenses.”
