U Mobile Sdn Bhd and Celcom Axiata Bhd have extended their partnership on domestic roaming agreement for another three years.
In a joint statement today, U Mobile and Celcom said the existing domestic roaming agreement between them was first signed in 2007.
"It was a landmark agreement, being the first such agreement of its kind in the country that allowed customers to enjoy complete nationwide mobile coverage at no additional cost," it said.
The statement said under the renewed arrangement, U Mobile customers would continue to enjoy nationwide coverage and improved user experience, with seamless hand-over of voice calls from U Mobile's third-generation (3G) network to Celcom's 2G network.
"Later in the year, U Mobile subscribers roaming on Celcom's 2G network will also be able to access data services such as mobile internet, multimedia messaging service and content downloads," it said.
U Mobile chief executive officer, Dr Kaizad Heerjee, said the seamless integration between U Mobile's 3G network and Celcom's 2G network would deliver an unparallel level of mobile communications to the end-users who constantly needed to stay connected.
"This move demonstrates the industry's ability to arrive at a commercial agreement that helps meet the objective of the Ministry of Information Communication and Culture to benefit the consumers by providing nationwide coverage," he said. -- Bernama
