  Dear Friends of HKBN

HKBN to the Rescue: Global Phone Service Launch Targets Multi-billion Roaming Market
 
 
  Before a jam-packed gathering of 1,500+ HKBNers, business partners, guests and press, today we ceremoniously launched our unprecedented Global Phone Service Plan, a disruptive offering powered by our partnership with TVB and uCloudlink that’s set to upend Hong Kong’s lucrative roaming data market.
 
 
Pre-loaded with TVB's 4 most popular APPs, our Global Phone Service Plan lets users stay informed and entertained at home and abroad with included 24-month access of myTV SUPER, TVB Anywhere, big big channel and TVB News.

True to our legacy DNA, which has persistently changed the game for consumers via innovation and affordability – like how we made IDD calling affordable 20 years ago, or became one of the world’s first to mass deploy hi-speed 1,000 Mbps fibre broadband, and more recently, how we spearheaded a value disruption for Hong Kong’s OTT & mobile markets – our all-new service allows consumers to pay one incredibly competitive fee, starting from $198/mth to enjoy 5GB local data and voice + 5GB overseas data! Packed full of innovation and value, our new service includes a free Global Phone which does not require SIM cards – its patented CloudSIM technology allows seamless data access to 4G mobile networks across more than 60+ regions/countries worldwide – making it ideal for travelers, and the perfect foil to legacy roaming service!


 
  Likening ourselves as protectors of Hong Kong consumers, we’re rolling out a massive marketing campaign across TV, print and social media. At the heart of this message stands our latest talisman, The Price Guardian, a hero designed to remind Hong Kongers of our pledge to finally bring an end to the era of expensive roaming!
