The initiative aims to ensure safe access to communication services for local residents and to bridge the digital information gap, further developing SK Telecom's proprietary service into a cooperative model with local governments. This year, SK Telecom has operated this service a total of 145 times across 74 cities and counties nationwide, directly engaging with approximately 13,000 customers.

Under this agreement, SK Telecom plans to operate the Visiting Service eight times in total, twice for each of the local governments. Taking into account the high proportion of elderly residents, the program will include practical training sessions on topics such as preventing financial crimes and using mobile phones. In addition, regardless of the user's mobile carrier, the program will provide device care services such as smartphone check-ups, sanitizing cleanings, and protective film replacements, as well as consultations on communication services. The four counties will determine the location, operating method, and scale of participation based on local circumstances, and leverage local networks to encourage resident participation.

Lee Hyeyeon, Head of Customer Value Innovation at SK Telecom, stated, "Providing necessary services and listening to our customers is an essential starting point for strengthening customer trust. We will continue our field-oriented activities in collaboration with local governments that understand local conditions, ensuring that residents can use communication services safely and conveniently."
