KT announced on the 21st that it has expanded the sales channels of ‘Baro USIM,’ a shared USIM for KT Altteul Phone, through collaboration with BGF Retail. ‘Baro USIM’ is a shared USIM that can be used by both KT and KT Altteul Phone business customers without distinction. Since its launch in July last year, 27 Altteul Phone operators have been using it together.

With this collaboration, KT has significantly expanded the number of sales locations from about 7,000 to approximately 24,000. Customers can find ‘Baro USIM’ at nearby CU convenience stores and Emart24 stores.

Customers who purchase ‘Baro USIM’ can activate their service immediately without waiting through the self-activation service of KT Altteul Phone operators. Additionally, KT users can easily activate unlocked, used, or overseas direct purchase phones through the ‘KT Direct’ website without visiting a store. Meanwhile, KT is holding a gift certificate giveaway event to commemorate the launch of ‘Baro USIM.’ Customers who subscribe to KT Altteul Phone lines using ‘Baro USIM’ will receive gift certificates worth up to 30,000 KRW for three major supermarkets (▲Emart ▲Homeplus ▲Lotte Mart).

Choi Se-jun, Executive Director in charge of KT MVNO, said, “We prepared the ‘Baro USIM’ service to meet the needs of customers using KT and KT network Altteul Phones, as well as small and medium Altteul Phone operators who face difficulties in USIM order reception/delivery and USIM store partnership.” He added, “We will continue to strengthen the service competitiveness to resolve customer inconveniences.”
