The three mobile carriers are launching a major promotion in August and September featuring membership discounts, roaming benefits, and more.

SK Telecom will provide points equivalent to approximately 70% of the monthly fee for up to 12 months to customers who newly subscribe to the Air plan starting from next month on the 7th through the 31st. The carrier will also expand the limit on communication fees that Air plan users can pay using points until the end of the year.

From the 1st of next month through September 30, new subscribers to the Air plan will be exempt from eSIM issuance fees. Additionally, T Membership will offer weekly benefits throughout August. For customers traveling abroad, the carrier will provide 13 types of local discounts and convenience services in Bangkok, Nha Trang, and Guam in August, and 10 types in Fukuoka, Tokyo, and Osaka in September.

KT will also run "K.Mem.PE (KT Membership Festa)" from August 3 to 31, offering benefits including a 10,000 won discount at airport lounges, 50% off for the main guest and one companion at Caribbean Bay, 60% off Lotte Rent-a-Car G car rentals, 10% off domestic accommodations and 12% off overseas accommodations via Agoda, and a 3,000 won discount at GS Caltex when refueling with 30,000 won or more.

In anticipation of the travel season, the carrier will introduce the "Southeast Asia Budget Roaming" product until October 31 for short- and medium-term travelers. As part of its customer appreciation program, it will also provide an additional 50% roaming data to customers using the "Shared Roaming" service through August.

For one month in August, SKT is also running a promotion offering benefits equivalent to the first month's fee for new USIM and eSIM subscribers of the fully unlimited data online-only plans "Yogo 61" and "Yogo 69."

LG U+ plans to provide an additional 3GB of data to the representative when families subscribe to the Roaming Pass sharing service. For young customers, it will offer Youth Membership benefits and up to 2GB of data roaming. The carrier is also hosting the "Youth AI Shorts Festival" with a total prize pool of 100 million won, offering the first-place winner the Science and ICT Vice Minister Award and an opportunity for AI training in Los Angeles, USA.

This promotion by the three telecom carriers follows up on customer support measures discussed during a meeting between Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Science and ICT Bae Keong-hoon and the CEOs of the three mobile operators on the 23rd. At that time, the government and telecom companies had agreed to develop programs aimed at stabilizing livelihoods amid high inflation.
