Asian Mobile Networks Launch Fixed Rate Voice and SMS for Roamers
Published on:
The Bridge Alliance -- a trade group of Asian mobile networks -- has announced the launch of Bridge VoiceSMS Roam, the region's first one-rate roaming price plan for voice call minutes and SMS messages, offering customers up to 80% savings from prevailing roaming rates.
Designed to cater for different usage requirements, customers can choose to subscribe any of the three Bridge VoiceSMS Roam price plans to suit their travel plan and communication needs when travelling in the Asia Pacific region.
The eleven Bridge Alliance member operators are: Airtel (India), AIS (Thailand), CSL (Hong Kong), CTM (Macau), Globe Telecom (Philippines), Maxis (Malaysia), SingTel Mobile (Singapore), SingTel Optus (Australia), SK Telecom (Korea), Taiwan Mobile (Taiwan) and Telkomsel (Indonesia).
For example, a customer who uses 30 minutes of incoming voice calls and sends 30 SMS messages when roaming in India would pay approximately US$120 based on prevailing roaming rates. With Bridge VoiceSMS Roam30 the customer will only pay US$32 and he or she will save US$88.
"Bridge Alliance continues to bring innovative solutions to remove the fear of roaming due to costs so customers can stay connected with peace-of-mind when they travel. With this launch of Bridge VoiceSMS Roam and following the successful launch of our Bridge DataRoam plans last year, we offer a comprehensive suite of subscription plans and total solution for voice, SMS and data roaming to all customers of the Bridge Alliance member operators." said Annie Gan, Chief Executive Officer, Bridge Alliance.
