Viettel reduces roaming charge in Laos, Cambodia

Viettel reduces roaming charge in Laos, Cambodia

Viettel’s subscribers who use Unitel in Laos and Metfone in Cambodia
will be offered a 60 percent discount to 0.10 USD per minute when using
roaming services.


The roaming service allows Viettel’s subscribers to use their own mobile
phone number with services such as SMS, GPRS, EDGE and EG Data in
foreign countries.


Under this policy, Viettel’s
roaming subscribers using Unitel and Metfone will enjoy a 70 percent
lower charge. The reduction is also its next step in improving the
preferential roaming charge policy in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.


Hoang Son, director of Viettel Telecom said that with its investment
expansion to Haiti, Mozambique, Myanmar and African countries, Viettel’s
roaming subscribers within Viettel’s networks will continue to enjoy
more benefits in the future.


After nine months of
operation, Viettel’s subscribers have so far roamed to 305 mobile
networks of 118 countries and territories worldwide.


In addition to phone and SMS service, Viettel’s roaming subscribers can
use GPRS to 160 networks of 83 countries and 3G service to 87 networks
of 59 countries. Particularly, roaming users also receive incoming SMS
free of charge.


Viettel is Vietnam’s only service
provider to allow prepaid roaming subscribers to make phone calls and
send SMS and vice versa to 33 networks of 29 countries and territories./.
