[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] LG Uplus announced on the 2nd that more than 60,000 customers participated in the ‘100 KRW per day data roaming’ promotion launched last month. Accordingly, the company will extend the promotion period by one month.

The ‘Data Roaming Up to 100 KRW per Day, Zero Burden U+ Roaming Promotion’ held last month is a data roaming service available in over 80 major countries worldwide. Customers traveling abroad can use data at a speed of 200Kbps all day by paying up to only 100 KRW per day.

Customers can use the data roaming service for 100 KRW per day without any separate application or subscription. The provided speed of 200Kbps is sufficient for smooth exchange of SNS text messages. Customers only need to pay up to 100 KRW per day even if they freely exchange SNS messenger messages overseas.

The 100 KRW data roaming promotion received favorable reviews from customers as it significantly reduced the burden of using existing roaming services. Previously, customers who did not subscribe to a separate roaming product had to pay up to 11,000 KRW depending on data usage, but during the promotion period, the cost burden was drastically reduced to 100 KRW, which is analyzed to have led to positive customer responses.

Thanks to the increase in promotion users, the number of LG Uplus data roaming product users in May increased by about 40% compared to the previous month. Compared to the same period last year, it increased significantly by about 200%.

LG Uplus decided to extend the promotion period to provide differentiated customer benefits, anticipating a significant increase in overseas travelers using data roaming services due to changes such as simplified quarantine procedures upon returning from abroad and increased international flight frequencies.

Along with the daily maximum 100 KRW data roaming promotion, the company also extended the sale of a promotional product for customers who want to use data at high speed for one more month. LG Uplus will continue to sell the ‘Data Roaming 1GB’ product, which provides 1GB of data for 3 days at 9,900 KRW, in June following last month. Subscribers can use data overseas without burden at a price cheaper than competitors’ roaming products.

Along with the extension of the data roaming promotion, LG Uplus is also conducting a travel insurance subscription discount promotion through a partnership with DB Insurance. This promotion allows LG Uplus customers to apply for DB Insurance travel insurance on the exclusive travel insurance page for LG Uplus customers, receiving coverage for injury, illness medical expenses, as well as mobile phone damage and passport reissuance costs, at an average of 27% cheaper than offline prices.

Meanwhile, LG Uplus is also holding an event to give character goods to roaming service users. Until the 30th, customers who add LG Uplus’s roaming-only SNS consultation channel as a friend and subscribe to the U+ roaming plan will receive one of LG Uplus’s representative character ‘Mooneo’ keyrings or name tags as a gift.
