M1 customers can now use their existing M1 data bundles in six
overseas destinations, through the new Data
Passport
service.
The value-added service, available from 10 July 2015, will enable
customers to use their M1 data bundles in Indonesia, Japan,
Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka and the United States,
at a monthly subscription of S$10 per country.
“We want M1 customers to be able to switch on and leave their data
connectionon when
they are overseas, as they do when they are in Singapore. And now,
through the M1 Data Passport service, our customers have the peace
of mind to use their smart devices the same way they do at home,”
said Mr P. Subramaniam, Chief Marketing Officer, M1.
M1 has also launched the new Network Lock feature to protect
customers from
unintended usage and charges while roaming overseas. The free
feature ensures a customer’s overseas data usage is on a M1
preferred network, enabling the customer to enjoy attractive data
usage rates.
In addition to the six Data Passport destinations, the Network Lock
feature is also available on an additional ten destinations
offering S$15 a day unlimited data roaming. Customers
can continue to make and receive voice calls and messages on any
network, and can enable or disable the Network Lock feature by
dialing *123#.
