FreeTelecom Partners with TELUS to Launch Industry-First Dual Mobile Service for Korean-Canadian Market
FreeTelecom Dual Plan officially unveiled at Toronto Korean Festival, delivering seamless connectivity between Korea and Canada
Toronto, ON - TELUS has partnered with FreeTelecom, Korea's leading budget telecommunications provider, to launch the FreeTelecom Dual Plan, an industry-first mobile solution. The FreeTelecom Dual Plan allows customers to access both Korean and Canadian mobile services on a single device, offering significant cost savings compared to traditional international roaming. Built on TELUS' award-winning network, the service addresses the unique connectivity needs of Korean residents, working holiday, students, and business travelers who spend time in both countries.
FreeTelecom brings proven expertise to the Canadian market, having earned recognition in Korea including Customer Satisfaction Brand of the Year for two consecutive years, ICT Award Korea Gold Prize, and top consumer preference rankings. This strategic partnership makes FreeTelecom the first Korean telecom to step into the global market.
"Our partnership with FreeTelecom represents TELUS' commitment to serving Canada's diverse communities with innovative solutions," said Kal Amery, Vice President, Global Carrier Solutions at TELUS. "The FreeTelecom Dual Plan delivers exceptional value for customers who maintain connections across Korea and Canada, leveraging our reliable network to provide seamless international connectivity."
A key differentiator of the FreeTelecom Dual Plan is its included KR Basic Plan, which enables authentication for Korean banking services and government websites, a critical feature for Korean expatriates managing financial and administrative needs across borders. This functionality significantly enhances convenience for users maintaining ties to Korea while living in Canada.
"Through our collaboration with TELUS, we're delivering locally tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of Korean-Canadians," said Lee Suk-Hwan, CEO FreeTelecom. "This partnership marks the beginning of our journey to become a globally recognized mobile brand focused on customer-centric service."
The FreeTelecom Dual Plan is now available to customers across Canada. For more information about pricing, coverage areas, and to sign up for the service, visit
