Yet another popular Canadian destination where Bell has cut the
cost of wireless voice and data roaming for consumers
MONTREAL,
June 3, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Bell
today announced it has reduced the cost of mobile roaming in
South Korea, the latest
international destination where Bell customers pay less for
wireless voice and data.
"As smartphones have become an essential travel companion, Bell
has worked with our international suppliers to lower roaming costs
for Canadian consumers travelling worldwide," said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell Mobility.
"We're proud to add South Korea to
the fast-growing list of countries where Bell has significantly
reduced the cost of both data and voice roaming."
