Singtel extends “Roam Like Home” data roaming plans to Australia
Roamers to enjoy seamless access and peace of mind with affordable rates from Singtel’s DataRoam Saver Australia (Monthly) 1 GB plan
Singapore, 4 May, 2015 – Singtel today announced the launch of its “Roam Like Home” DataRoam Saver Australia (Monthly) 1 GB plan. The plan is offered at a promotional price of $10 for the first 1 GB of bundled data, with subsequent usage being charged at $0.10 per MB.
Conceived with value-savvy customers in mind, the DataRoam Saver Australia (Monthly) 1 GB plan is the most affordable plan of its kind. It follows from the successful DataRoam Saver Malaysia (Monthly) 1 GB plan, launched last October. Customers are assured of the best value for their money under either plan, with a low starting price of $10, as well as the most competitive incremental charges should they exceed their 1 GB data allowance.
The new plan offers extensive and reliable network coverage in Australia through its wholly owned subsidiary, Optus. Singtel customers roaming on Optus’ network will be connected to its 4G Plus mobile network and enjoy faster uploads and downloads for a better data experience while on the go.
“Australia is a popular travel destination among Singaporeans and with our new plan, Singtel customers will be served by a high quality network and enjoy seamless connectivity. They will not have to rely on WiFi hotspots or go through the hassle of registering for a local SIM to be connected again,” said Mr Johan Buse, Singtel’s VP for Consumer Marketing.
“DataRoam Saver Australia (Monthly) 1 GB allows customers to indulge in activities such as sharing vacation photos on social media, mapping travel directions and video chatting with friends and family back home. Business travellers can also stay in touch with the office and clients while on the move.”
In addition to its affordable rates, DataRoam Saver Australia (Monthly) 1 GB plan also features Network Lock[1] and data roaming usage alerts – complementary services that give customers useful information about their data usage, and prevent data roaming bill shock.
