News on April 22: China Unicom Guangdong will officially launch a prepaid user data roaming service for Hong Kong and Macau today. This feature is an important upgrade for China Unicom Guangdong targeting prepaid users such as Ruyitong, Wanzhongka, and Xinxingli, and is also an industry first among domestic carriers. Compared to the other two operators, this functional upgrade and pricing introduction by China Unicom Guangdong fills the gap where prepaid users had only voice services but no internet access while abroad.
It is understood that the pricing for this newly launched prepaid Hong Kong and Macau data roaming service has reached a historical "new low" — 5 yuan for 10MB of data, offering a discount of up to 50% compared to the industry’s standard rate of 1 yuan per MB. To ensure user confidence, the plan automatically rolls over once the 10MB limit is exceeded, and users are not charged if they do not use data abroad. The application process for this feature and pricing is also very convenient: existing prepaid users can activate it by sending the text message “KSJMY” to 10010, while new prepaid users joining from April 22 onward can enjoy the service anytime upon exiting the country without needing to apply.
In order to better serve the public, China Unicom Guangdong has continuously improved and refined various pricing plans, having previously launched a series of international products such as “Roam Hong Kong Freely” and “Taiwan-Hong Kong-Macau Travel Card,” providing consumers with high-quality and affordable roaming communication services. The introduction of this prepaid internet feature further demonstrates China Unicom Guangdong’s ongoing efforts to create a more convenient, cost-effective, and reasonable consumption environment for consumers. We look forward to China Unicom Guangdong establishing more comprehensive and close collaborations with global carriers in the future, and continuously launching more user-friendly products and services.
