CTM launches new telecom plan

CTM officially launched the “Greater Bay Area Service Plan” this week, representing a further step in telecom cooperation with Guangdong and Hong Kong.

The local telecom company has cooperated with mainstream telecom operators in mainland China and Hong Kong to launch the plan, which provides telecom service support and assists local SMEs and citizens to participate in the development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau.

The plan allows users to share mobile data, and voice and SMS credit across one telecom plan.

Vandy Poon, CEO of CTM said that the Greater Bay Area Service Plan is another cross-border sharing service following the City Link Plan (Macau & HK) and City Link Plan Plus (China & HK & Macau) services. Both services demonstrate CTM’s assistance to local corporates in participating in the construction and development in the Greater Bay Area.

The company pledged that it will continue to develop opportunities for collaboration with telecom partners in the area, and bring more integrated telecom services to cater to the development of the Greater Bay Area.

As of yesterday, residents can now use 1GB of 4G+ mobile data, 500 minutes of free voice calls and 50 text messages between Macau, Hong Kong and mainland China for a monthly charge of MOP98.

Customers of the Greater Bay Area Service Plan are part of CMCC’s network in mainland China and CMCC’s (HK) network in Hong Kong.

China mobile launches service for greater bay area

CHINA MOBILE Guangdong will provide cheap phone call services to customers who take calls while in Macau and Hong Kong. The company has said that the plan is an integrated product for businesspeople who frequently travel across Guangdong, Macau and Hong Kong. However, the plan will not suit all users of China Mobile Guangdong.  Customers will have to purchase a new RMB30 package, a specially-made service for the Greater Bay Area. Other paid services including data and phone call services were also launched to benefit the targeted customers.
