Services to cut data-roaming bill shocks

Singtel and StarHub yesterday announced services that can help prevent bill shocks from surfing online overseas with mobile devices.

SingTel said it is offering a free add-on for its unlimited $15 per day data-roaming plans. It automatically connects a customer's mobile gadget to the telco's partner networks in 44 markets.

Previously, this was done manually. Customers who accidentally connect to non-partner networks will have to pay $20 per MB of data used.

StarHub launched a data-roaming service with an aim to prevent similar bill shocks. But it does so differently, as customers can connect to any mobile network in 20 destinations to enjoy the service's cheaper rate of $10 per 50MB per day. The rate will become $18 from October.

StarHub plans to extend the service to over 230 overseas destinations in time.
