'Family Roaming' is a service where one family representative who subscribes to the baro plan can add just 3,000 KRW to allow all family members (up to five people including the representative) to share roaming data. For example, in a family of three, if one person subscribes as the representative to the 6GB plan plus family roaming for 42,000 KRW (6GB plan 39,000 KRW + family roaming 3,000 KRW), the three family members can share 6GB of data for 30 days. This means the cost per person is about 14,000 KRW. Especially, if the family roaming representative is a 0Youth plan customer, they can receive a 50% discount on the baro plan without any separate application.


If all data is used up, customers can continue to use data at a speed of 400kbps without additional charges. Customers using the baro plan and family roaming can also use baro calls and texts for free. Baro calls is a service that provides free calls both to Korea and locally for roaming plan users.


'Family Roaming' is an SKT domestic family bundling product, and customers who are bundled can easily subscribe via T World. If not using family bundling, customers can subscribe by presenting a family relationship certificate at the SKT airport booth. Additionally, from the 20th of next month, SKT will reduce the daily rate of the ‘One Pass 500’ plan, which is a daily rate plan for customers traveling for business or short trips such as 1 night 2 days or 2 nights 3 days, from 16,500 KRW per day to 9,900 KRW per day, a 40% discount.



Yoon Jae-woong, head of SKT Subscription CO, said, “We have significantly increased customer benefits with the ‘baro plan’ and introduced the ‘Family Roaming Promotion’ for family travelers so that more customers can use it, strengthening the cost-effectiveness of roaming overall. We will continue to enhance benefits so that customers can choose the ‘baro plan’ without worries about roaming during overseas trips filled with excitement and anxiety.”
