LG Uplus, "Use Overseas Data Roaming for 100 Won a Day"

LG Uplus employees are introducing the roaming promotion.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] LG Uplus announced on the 28th that it will conduct a promotion allowing customers to use data roaming services in major countries worldwide for 100 KRW per day.

With the recent significant easing of social distancing and overseas travel restrictions, the number of outbound travelers has steadily increased. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, as of the 24th of this month, the average daily number of outbound passengers was 10,285, an increase of about 52% compared to March (average 6,771 per day). The ministry also announced plans to increase international regular flights by 100 flights per week starting next month in response to the rise in outbound travelers.

To proactively respond to the growing demand for overseas travel, LG Uplus has prepared a promotion offering roaming services at an unprecedented price. Under the 'Data 100 KRW per Day, Zero Burden U+ Roaming' promotion, which will run for one month starting from the 2nd of next month, outbound customers can use data at speeds up to 200 Kbps all day long in major countries worldwide for a maximum of 100 KRW per day. A speed of 200 Kbps is sufficient for smooth exchange of SNS text messages.

Outbound customers can use the data roaming service for 100 KRW per day without any separate application or subscription. Customers only need to pay up to 100 KRW per day regardless of how freely they exchange SNS messenger messages abroad. Previously, customers who did not subscribe to a separate roaming plan were charged up to 11,000 KRW depending on data usage.

LG Uplus also offers a promotion product for customers who want to use data at high speeds. The company plans to sell the 'Data Roaming 1GB' product, which provides 1GB of data for 3 days at 9,900 KRW, throughout May. Through this product, customers can use data overseas without burden at a price cheaper than competitors' roaming products.

LG Uplus also operates a consultation channel for the convenience of outbound customers. The roaming-only SNS consultation channel is the only one among the three domestic mobile carriers. The roaming consultation channel using the SNS messenger 'KakaoTalk' operates 24 hours a day so that it can be conveniently used anywhere overseas.
