SK Telecom (SKT) announced the launch of a free service called 'T Roaming Safe Country' on October 22, designed to prevent customers from using roaming services in countries they do not wish to connect to.
The T Roaming Safe Country service checks whether roaming is permitted in a country when a customer first attempts to connect to a foreign mobile network. If roaming is not allowed, the connection will be blocked.
SKT employs a 'Fraud Detection System (FDS)' to detect and block unusual activities in real-time, enhancing security management with the addition of the T Roaming Safe Country service, which allows customers to set their own roaming access by country.
This service, which restricts roaming connections to unwanted countries at the overseas network access stage, is the first of its kind among domestic mobile carriers in South Korea.
The service is offered in two formats: 'T Roaming Safe Country (Automatic)' and 'T Roaming Safe Country (Manual)'.
The Automatic option allows customers to use the service without having to set their destination country each time they travel abroad. The Manual option enables customers to select specific countries for roaming access, making it useful for those who frequently visit certain locations.
Yoon Jae-woong, head of SKT's Product & Brand Division, stated, "We have launched the 'T Roaming Safe Country' service to filter out unwanted roaming usage in addition to our ongoing security system that detects and blocks unusual activities in real-time. We will continue to expand customer-centric security services so that users can enjoy communication services without worry, both domestically and internationally."
