Singapore's second largest Operator, M1 is now extending its data bundles to six overseas destinations, through the new Data Passport service. The new value-added service 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. However, customers who exceed their data bundles need to pay local excess data usage rates of S$10.70/GB, capped at S$188.32 per month.
To help customer to manage overages, M1 has enabled a new Network Lock feature to protect customers from unintended usage and charges while roaming overseas. The free feature, said M1 will ensure 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.
P. Subramaniam, Chief Marketing Officer, M1
We want M1 customers to be able to switch on and leave their data connection on 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.
