PHILIPSBURG:--- UTS has added to the versatility of its Chippie prepaid product by adding prepaid data roaming to the service offerings. This means that Chippie prepaid customers will be able to access data related services while traveling. This entails services such as internet browsing, email, Facebook and other digital means of communication. The usage is measured per MegaByte (MB) and is paid for from the prepaid credit balance of their phone. "Calling while traveling abroad was already possible in many countries with a Chippie prepaid phone, but now Chippie expanded this service in many countries by also adding the possibility of continued data usage while abroad," said UTS Marketing and Communication Officer, Ivy Lambert. Customers can check out the Chippie SXM Facebook page for details on roaming destinations and the rates. They can also call the UTS Contact Center free from their Chippie phone for additional information.
"We do recommend that our customers monitor their mobile usage when traveling outside the Chippie network, so that they do not end up spending more of their prepaid credit than intended. Continuation of your service is possible by making use of the network of our roaming partners in each country. Data roaming rates are higher than the local rates so we recommend monitoring your data usage to avoid depletion of your prepaid credit or higher postpaid bills," Lambert continued.
