Singtel extends \u201cRoam Like Home\u201d data roaming plans to Australia<\/h2>\n

Roamers to enjoy seamless access and peace of mind with affordable rates from Singtel\u2019s DataRoam Saver Australia (Monthly) 1 GB plan<\/em><\/p>\n

Singapore, 4 May, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 Singtel today announced the launch of its \u201cRoam Like Home\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The new plan offers extensive and reliable network coverage in Australia through its wholly owned subsidiary, Optus. Singtel customers roaming on Optus\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustralia 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,\u201d said Mr Johan Buse, Singtel\u2019s VP for Consumer Marketing.<\/p>\n

\u201cDataRoam 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Customers can subscribe to Singtel\u2019s \u201cRoam Like Home\u201d DataRoam Saver Australia (Monthly) 1 GB and DataRoam Saver Malaysia (Monthly) 1 GB plans via the My Singtel App or by dialling *100# while in Australia or Malaysia[2].
