SK Telecom launches free country-by-country roaming controls
South Korean mobile operator SK Telecom has launched a free roaming control service called T Roaming Safe Country.
It lets customers choose which countries allow roaming on their mobile service.
When a phone first tries to connect to a mobile network abroad, the service checks whether roaming is allowed in that country.
Connections are blocked where customers have not allowed roaming.
The service is intended for customers who want to prevent roaming in certain countries while travelling.
SK Telecom announced the launch on October 22, but no further rollout details were given.
