MONTREAL, June 3, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Bell today announced it has reduced the cost of mobile roaming in South Korea, the latest international destination where Bell customers pay less for wireless voice and data.

"As smartphones have become an essential travel companion, Bell has worked with our international suppliers to lower roaming costs for Canadian consumers travelling worldwide," said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell Mobility. "We're proud to add South Korea to the fast-growing list of countries where Bell has significantly reduced the cost of both data and voice roaming."

Bell's South Korea roaming rate reductions follow similar decreases over the last year for the United States, Europe, China, Japan, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand, Bermuda, Cuba and other Caribbean destinations. For more about Bell mobile roaming, please visit Bell.ca/Travel.

Travel Data Passes offer usage monitoring and alerts, and can be purchased before or during travel with the Bell Mobility self-serve app.
