On the 1st, LG Uplus announced, “We have decided to wholesale the four 5G mid-tier plans launched on the 12th of last month to U+ MVNO operators using our own network.” The plans include △5G Data Regular (63,000 KRW, 1Mbps speed after 50GB usage) △5G Data Plus (66,000 KRW, 1Mbps speed after 80GB usage) △5G Data Super (68,000 KRW, 3Mbps speed after 95GB usage) △5G Standard Essential (70,000 KRW, 5Mbps speed after 125GB usage). Notably, the ‘5G Data Super’ plan improves user convenience by setting a 3Mbps speed limit after the basic data allowance is exhausted, allowing smooth viewing of HD-quality videos.

The new plans will be launched by 10 companies, including small and medium MVNOs such as InscoBee (Pretty), Enext Telecom (A Mobile), Marvel Studio (Marbling), Code Mobile, CK Commu Street (Sugar Mobile), Keun Saram Connect (Iyagi Mobile), YL Land (Yeo-yu Telecom), Unicoms, as well as LG Uplus subsidiaries like MediaLog (U+ U Mobile) and LG HelloVision (Hello Mobile).

Since 2019, LG Uplus has been operating the ‘U+ MVNO Partners’ program to support small and medium MVNO operators and promote mutual growth with partners. The program supports customer services such as plan changes at both online and offline customer touchpoints and nationwide LG Uplus stores. Yoo Ho-sung, head of LG Uplus MVNO business, stated, “With the launch of these plans, we will strive to enhance the brand and satisfaction of U+ MVNO.”
