韩国：手机丢失产生漫游费 通讯公司担50%

据韩联社报道，韩国消费者纠纷调解委员会(以下简称：调解委)16日决定，对消费者在国外丢失手机后他人盗用产生的漫游服务费，相关通讯公司要减免50%。据调解委透露，一名韩国国民今年6月在海外出差时手机丢失，但并未及时办理使用限制等挂失业务，回国后发现账单上多出了600万韩元(约合人民币3.47万元)的漫游费。

调解委认为，这是相关移动通讯公司的疏忽，通讯公司有义务保护顾客的正当利益。

此外，对顾客USIM卡存在被盗用可能，而通讯公司并未事前告知顾客进行防范的话，通讯公司负主要责任。但考虑到消费者在手机丢失48小时后才申请暂时挂失，延误了挂失时间，因此调解委决定，移动通讯公司需承担50%的责任。

调解委相关负责人表示，如果手机在国外丢失，应立即通讯公司客服取得联系，进行挂失或办理使用限制，同时要尽快通过国内家人迅速解决问题。
