Dialog and TM International Network Offers Cheapest Data Roaming Services
Colombo, Thursday, March 5, 2009 - TM International Berhad’s (TMI) subsidiaries and affiliates have launched an initiative to enhance customers’ data roaming experience by offering a daily unlimited data roaming plan. At a daily flat fee of just US $ 10, this service is currently the cheapest in the region where travellers can use internet and data browsing services without worrying about data roaming charges. In Sri Lanka, Unlimited Data Roaming is offered by Dialog Telekom – TMI’s local subsidiary, and it can be used with TMI’s network of mobile operators: Celcom in Malaysia, XL in Indonesia, M1 in Singapore, Aktel in Bangladesh and Hello in Cambodia. The service intends to cater to the increasing demand of internet-usage amongst Dialog post-paid roamers.
Mr. Supun Weerasinghe, Chief Executive Officer of Dialog Mobile, said: "As data roaming gains momentum we are taking the opportunity to extend further value to users. Research has shown that internet access is a growing priority demanded by consumers, so we aim to cater to their needs by offering cost-effective, convenient and unlimited data-roaming services. The high price of using data services whilst roaming has proven prohibitive for many customers who instead opt to use hotel broadband services as a cheaper alternative. As such, we have carefully designed this offering to be both cheaper and superior in providing full mobility".
The Unlimited Data Roaming plan is offered to all Dialog post-paid customers, whilst international roaming must be activated before departure. Users must simply select the preferred roaming partner upon reaching the destination to enjoy this service.
