Yoodo Announces New Roam Like Home Plus Plan; Online Banking Support By End Of December

Earlier today, Yoodo held its first Community meet up for fans and supporters. More importantly, the telco service also took the time to announce some new features to its service.

Firstly, the brand announced its new Roam Like Home Plus plan. As the name suggests, the plan is for Yoodo users who frequently travel to other countries, allowing them to use their local plan in other countries. Without needing to purchase a local SIM.

For a fee of either RM10 or RM20, Yoodo users will automatically be able to use all of their date for a period of 24 hours from the point of purchase. Even better, the service is usable in a total of 53 countries, and even includes the US (AT&T) and UK (Vodafone Limited).

Moving on, Yoodo will also be adding online banking as an additional option towards paying your subscription. The payment option joins Yoodo’s already existing options of paying by PayPal, as well as credit or debit card. Yoodo says that the feature will go live by the end of December.

Regarding its plans for next year, Yoodo does have a few interesting developments planned for its service. For a start, the brand is planning on implementing data sharing, with the objective of giving its users the freedom to decide how many people get to share an account, and how much data they’ll be allowed to draw from the pool.

Another feature that Yoodo will be implementing next year is a Flexi Booster plan. The idea behind the plan is to charge users who purchases a booster less than the original cost. If the user purchases the booster closer to its expiration date.

There is one more thing. While this wasn’t part of the official announcement, we found out that Yoodo is already working on getting an eSIM out for its service. As you would expect, Yoodo didn’t speak about the topic at great lengths, but we did manage to find out a couple of things. Firstly, if and when it does become a reality, Yoodo says that the feature would be available on Apple’s iPhone first. Seeing how the device already carries support for it.

Activation of the eSIM would also most likely be done through the scanning of a QR code. Mind you, that’s just one possible method of activation, and it goes without saying that Yoodo will be looking into other avenues for the sim delivery.

We also may not have to wait very long; when we asked for a general period of availability, Yoodo said that – while unconfirmed – it was aiming at a launch of the feature sometime during the first half of 2019.

While we’re not holding out breath on Yoodo’s timeline, it’s very likely that the brand could beat its competitors to the finish line with it. Of course, that is barring any sudden announcements from said competitors about the topic.
