[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT is offering the ‘V(V)Coloring’ service, a ‘visible call ringtone’ service. VColoring was first introduced by SK Telecom in September last year, and with the business agreement (MOU) between SK Telecom and KT, KT customers will also be able to use it starting from the 22nd.

VColoring is a ‘visible coloring’ service that shows a short and concise ‘short-form’ video set by the customer to the caller until the call connects to the recipient’s mobile phone. Users can use the latest music videos, popular videos, or videos they have filmed themselves. VColoring subscribers (recipients) can select videos provided in the app as personalized content or choose videos they have created or own and set them as coloring, so the caller’s phone will display the video until the call is answered. Callers do not need to be subscribed to VColoring to see the video set by the recipient when calling through the T Phone app.

KT is launching this service in two products: VColoring (3,300 KRW per month, VAT included) and ‘VColoringXCatchCall’ (3,630 KRW per month, VAT included), which includes a catch call feature that notifies missed calls. From the 22nd of this month to June 30th, customers who subscribe to VColoring will receive a launch promotion discount of 2,310 KRW (VAT included) for 90 days. Service subscription is possible not only through the dedicated VColoring app but also via the ‘My KT’ app, online at ‘KT.com’, customer centers, and agencies. Starting from the 18th, any KT customer can pre-register for the VColoring service through the KT.com website. KT will give convenience store gift certificates to all customers who pre-register. An event will also be held simultaneously, offering a ‘Galaxy S21’ as a prize through a lottery.
