StarHub makes mobile data roaming easier

StarHub is offering a fuss-free way for its Mobile postpaid customers to roam with a Mobile DataTravel plan that was introduced in early December.

For a flat fee of S$15, with no additional monthly subscriptions or activation fees, StarHub is giving customers 2GB of data that can be used for 30 days within a single country or across multiple destinations. A 3GB DataTravel plan is available for S$5 more.

DataTravel also does away with the need for users to manually search for or lock their phones to a specific preferred mobile network as is normally required for roaming plans. StarHub says it is the only Singapore telco to offer this advantage. Customers will also receive SMS notifications before their DataTravel plan expires or depletes.

Initial or additional 2GB or 3GB DataTravel plans can be activated wherever the customers are. With each additional activation, any unused data will be carried forward for another 30 days of use. If the data has been fully utilised, excess data usage will be charged based on prevailing DataTravel Unlimited or RoamEasy Plans which the customer has subscribed to.

“Our DataTravel customers will be able to enjoy doing what they have come to love on their phones simply and affordably, with a data plan that can be brought across multiple borders and mobile networks. With DataTravel, we are happy to free our customers from the common constraints of overseas data usage, that are cost and accessibility," said Wang Li-Na, Head of Product & Marketing, StarHub.
