KDDI and Okinawa Cellular are pleased to announce the launch of GLOBAL PASSPORT data roaming services in Thailand from Thursday, June 16th. GLOBAL PASSPORT is an international roaming service that enables au handsets used in Japan to be utilized overseas without modification. Thailand, following Korea, is the second country outside Japan where data roaming service for au handsets is available.
Customers using the A5505SA handset, manufacturered by Sanyo Electric and compatible with the data roaming service, will be able to exchange e-mail and access the Web, in addition to the current voice-call service in Thailand, without applying in advance.
The data roaming service is also scheduled to become available in countries other than Korea and Thailand where GLOBAL PASSPORT voice-call service is provided. KDDI and Okinawa Cellular will continue working to make au phones even more convenient for use overseas.
