Telia Launches First National Roaming Product in Finland


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 2, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Telia Mobile launches Telia Prepaid in Finland, a prepaid subscription, as the first product resulting from the national roaming agreement with Suomen 2G Oy, announced on April 9.

"We are very pleased to introduce a product that can use our own GSM network where the network is available, and the Suomen 2G network elsewhere. This finally makes it possible for us to fully exploit our own network capacity. A prepaid connection is also a superb product, since it enables the customer to control his or her traffic and content expenses. The national roaming agreement will also make it possible to introduce other comparable products in the future," said Erik Hallberg, Acting Head of Telia Mobile Finland.
