Press Release
SK Telecom (NYSE:SKM) today announced that it has launched ‘baro,’an innovative voice call roaming service that enables users to make and receive international roaming voice calls for free.
SK Telecom’s customers who subscribe to the company’s international data roaming plans can enjoy free unlimited international voice calls while travelling to 168 countries across the world. Data used for voice calls is not deducted from user’s roaming data plan allotment so as to maximize customer benefits. Free unlimited voice calls also apply to local calls made within a country where a customer is travelling.
The free unlimited international voice calls can be made from smartphones installed with the latest version (v 7.2.4) of ‘T Phone,’ the company’s integrated dialer platform currently used by 14 million people. T Phone can be downloaded from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
With a Wi-Fi connection, all international voice calls are free even without a data roaming plan. Those receiving the calls do not need to be SK Telecom’s subscribers or users of T Phone app.
Unlike the existing voice roaming services, ‘baro’ ensures the highest level of call quality through the development and application of an innovative solution that interconnects the IMS infrastructure and mVoIP system.
