SKT, Baro Plan Event... 15 Million KRW Travel Package for One Person Every Month

'First Roaming 50% Discount' Extended for 3 More Months

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] SK Telecom announced on the 14th that it will hold the ‘Shoot Towards Departing Travelers’ promotion, offering benefits to customers subscribing to the baro plan from the 15th until the end of the year.

SKT, aiming to be an AI service company, offers the baro plan which can be subscribed to for free even if you are not traveling abroad immediately, and charges fees only when using roaming services overseas, allowing convenient use.

This event includes a monthly drawing of one winner who will receive a travel package worth 15 million KRW (usable within 5 years), along with duty-free shop gift certificates, airport taxi coupons, and e-book coupons.

This month’s travel prize is Hana Tour’s ‘Wine Sanctuary, Bordeaux and Southern France’ package, where winners can enjoy winery experiences and French home-style meals for 7 nights and 9 days in southern France regions such as Marseille, Cannes, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

SKT plans to offer one winner each in October, November, and December with prizes including luxury glamping in Australia, a New York gourmet tour, and Premier League match viewing in the UK, respectively, drawn from customers who subscribe to the baro plan during the promotion period. Additionally, 108 winners will be selected daily during the promotion to receive 1 million KRW gift certificates for Shinsegae Duty Free.

Moreover, during the same period, 10 winners daily (totaling 1,080) will receive UT airport taxi coupons worth 100,000 KRW, and all applicants, even if not winning the raffle prizes, will receive a OneStory e-book coupon worth 20,000 points.

Applications for the Shoot Towards Departing Travelers promotion can be made monthly during the promotion period. Detailed information about the promotion can be found from the 15th in the T Roaming category on the T World website.

Meanwhile, SKT is also extending the ‘First Roaming 50% Discount’ promotion, which started on June 1, for three months until November 30. This promotion offers a 50% discount on fees for customers using roaming for the first time or those who have not used roaming plans in the past five years when subscribing to the baro plan, with no separate application required to receive the discount.

In June, SKT upgraded the baro plan by expanding the available countries to 187, an increase of 61 countries, and allowing users to select only the desired data volume when traveling. The baro plan also provides free voice calls and text messages, and offers benefits such as Carrot Insurance’s ‘Overseas Traveler Insurance 30% Coupon (up to 10,000 KRW)’, Shinsegae Duty Free’s maximum 1.1 million KRW ‘Duty-Free Benefits’, and Hana Tour’s ‘Travel Trend Webzine’.

Yoon Jae-woong, head of SKT’s subscription marketing, stated, “We are grateful for the high interest from customers in the upgraded baro plan launched in June, and as a token of appreciation, we have extended the 50% discount promotion for three months and are running a promotion with unprecedented prizes.”
