[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] KT announced on the 30th that it will offer two types of roaming early bird benefits for early bird travelers preparing for overseas trips.


First, KT operates a roaming trial group that allows customers to try roaming products suitable for their travel type for free. Customers traveling alone can apply for the roaming trial group to use ‘Roaming All Day ON Plus 7 Days,’ which offers unlimited (speed-controlled) data roaming. Customers traveling with family or friends can apply for ‘Roaming Data Together ON,’ which allows up to three people to share 12GB of roaming data for one month. Customers from other carriers, regardless of their telecom provider, can apply for the ‘Roaming Egg 7 Days’ free trial group, which can be shared by up to three people.


The application period for KT’s roaming trial group is from the 31st to June 30th, and winners will be notified via text message on July 1st. The free usage voucher provided to the roaming trial group is valid from July 1st to December 31st. KT will select a total of 300 participants as roaming trial group members by drawing 100 people for each product. After the free trial, participants who submit reviews will receive a Starbucks Americano, and the best reviewers will be awarded a department store gift certificate worth 50,000 KRW.


KT is also running an event that gives out ‘Roaming Data Together ON Discount Coupons.’ Coupons will be issued for one of the following discounts: 3,300 KRW, 5,500 KRW, or 11,000 KRW. The event period is from the 31st to June 30th. Upon participating in the OX quiz, winning coupons will be notified via text message immediately, and coupons can be checked in the MyKT app on July 1st. Coupons can be used by subscribing to the ‘Together ON’ product and registering the coupon by December 31st.



KT also offers partnership discounts to roaming customers. From mid-June, customers purchasing hotel products through KT customer-exclusive reservation websites on Hotels.com and Expedia will receive a 7 to 9% discount. When visiting the Incheon Airport Roaming Center and subscribing to Roaming Data Together ON, customers can receive a 10,000 KRW prepaid card exchange voucher for Hyundai Department Store Duty-Free or Shilla Duty-Free, and all other customers can receive various partnership discount benefits such as Shinhan Bank exchange rate preferential coupons.
