Description

Taipei, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Seoul, Tokyo, Manila, Singapore, New Delhi, Nov 13, 2007 - (ACN Newswire) - Conexus Mobile Alliance ("the Alliance"), one of the largest mobile alliances in Asia with a combined customer base of around 160 million mobile subscribers, today announced the launch of Asia's first-ever pay-per-day data roaming flat-rate tariff plan and a host of member privileges, with an aim to deliver ground-breaking, genuine and tangible benefits to international roamers and realize its vision of offering the highest level of customer satisfaction in mobile services to corporate and consumer markets.

Since the Alliance's establishment in April 2006, the seven member operators, including Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. in Taiwan, Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited in Hong Kong, PT Indosat Tbk in Indonesia, KT Freetel Co., Ltd. in South Korea, NTT DoCoMo, Inc. in Japan, Smart Communications, Inc. in the Philippines and StarHub Ltd. in Singapore, have worked in concerted and unwavering efforts to ensure that all members' customers are able to experience seamless and hassle-free mobile-related services when they roam into members' networks. In the first quarter of 2008, the seven member operators will jointly roll out the first pay-per-day data roaming flat rate plan in Asia. Furthermore, an all-you-can-use* data roaming daily rate will be offered in some members' networks, enabling members' customers traveling across members' countries or cities to check emails, transmit data or surf on the Internet via their mobile devices while completely doing away with the need to count the data usage**. Subscription is not required in most of the member networks. Members' customers will be automatically charged based on the data roaming flat rate tariff plan while roaming onto members' networks.

* Details of the flat-rate data-roaming tariff vary among member operators and are subject to each operator's final discretion.

** Some members will provide flat rate plan with pre-set ceiling in data usage.

Mr. Chan Kin Hung, Chairman of the Alliance's Board and Head of...
