Viettel removes roaming charges in CLV

Vietnam’s Viettel, which is also the parent company of Unitel in Laos and Metfone in Cambodia, said in a statement released last Thursday that subscribers of its network in the CLV countries (Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam) can make phone calls to each other at the same price as domestic calls, making the company the first mobile service provider in the world to remove roaming charges for subscribers of its networks abroad. At the recent CLV summit, in Siem Reap, hosted by Prime Minister Hun Sen, the leaders of the three nations agreed to waive mobile phone roaming charges for cell-phone users in their respective countries.
