'Family Month in May' KT M Mobile Expands 'Data Sharing' Plans

Launch of a Senior-Only Plan Priced at 5,900 Won per Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] Budget phone company KT M Mobile announced on the 30th that it will expand the application of the budget phone bundled service ‘Data Sharing’ plans and launch one senior citizen exclusive plan to ease household communication expenses in May, the month of family.

Data Sharing is a bundled product launched this month by KT M Mobile, the first in the budget phone industry, that allows subscribers to share data with each other. They introduced ‘Data Unlimited 15GB+/300 minutes,’ which adds 200 voice minutes to the existing ‘Data Unlimited 15GB/+100 minutes,’ and added it to the ‘Data Giver Only Plan’ lineup within the bundled service.

The applicable ‘Data Unlimited 15GB+/100 minutes’ plan is the third most subscribed flagship product among the approximately 60 LTE plans KT M Mobile offers. KT M Mobile plans to expand its flagship products by diversifying text and call volumes in unlimited data plans and broaden consumer choices.

Along with this, ‘Moduda Unlimited 5.4GB+’ is added to the data receiver only plans within the bundled service. Due to the recent increase in data usage among the main users of data receiver only plans, such as teenagers and middle-aged generations, they decided to include a bundled service with an unlimited data plan priced in the 10,000 KRW range.

Customers who activate this plan and subscribe to the bundled service can receive 2GB of data monthly from users of the data giver only plan, allowing them to use a total of 7.4GB of LTE data. After the basic data is exhausted, unlimited use is possible at 1Mbps speed.

A new senior citizen exclusive plan ‘Senior Safety 0.5GB+’ priced at 5,900 KRW per month for customers aged 65 and older will also be launched. This plan provides 300 voice minutes, 300 text messages, and 0.5GB of LTE data monthly. To prevent additional charges, the plan is designed to allow unlimited use at 400Kbps speed after the basic data is exhausted. Additionally, voice and text usage alerts are supported up to three times a month depending on the remaining balance.

Jeon Seung-bae, Head of Business Operations at KT M Mobile, said, “To help reduce household communication expenses during the month of family, we reorganized the bundled service and senior citizen plan lineup, which are frequently used by families.” He added, “We hope KT M Mobile’s service will help strengthen communication among families even amid social distancing due to COVID-19.”
