Mobile phone users who switch to U Mobile enjoy exciting rate plans and great benefits at no extra cost
U Mobile Sdn Bhd, the fresh and innovative 3G mobile services provider, today announces its nationwide Mobile Number Portability (“MNP”) promotional offerings that enable mobile phone users to easily switch to U Mobile’s exciting rate plans and enjoy great benefits at no extra cost.
U Mobile unveiled its latest promotion in conjunction with the nationwide MNP rollout.
MNP allows both prepaid and postpaid subscribers to switch to a preferred mobile service provider and keep their existing mobile phone number.
Commenting on the nationwide rollout of the MNP service, Oh-Kwang Jin, U Mobile Chief Executive Officer said, “We are excited with the rollout of the MNP service, as mobile services users across Malaysia will now be able to enjoy true freedom of choice and benefit more from the services available in the market. We are confident that our fresh and innovative offerings will be attractive to mobile phone users who want to ‘call the shots’ in getting more value from the services they subscribe to.”
“One example is an offering that we will introduce soon, where U Mobile subscribers will get to make calls and send SMSes at a very attractive rate,” Oh added.
Under U Mobile’s MNP Promotion, both prepaid and postpaid subscribers of other mobile service providers can switch to U Mobile’s rate plans with no processing fee, as well as enjoy RM10 credited to their new account.
U Mobile will also give a free U Mobile 018 Prepaid Starter Pack with RM10 top-up credit to pre-paid and post-paid subscribers who are unsuccessful in their applications to switch to U Mobile.
In addition, prepaid subscribers who switch to the U Mobile 018 Prepaid Plan will receive 10 SMS free-of-charge for every RM10 of usage, up to a maximum of 110 SMSes per top-up, until December 31, 2008.
The U Mobile 018 Prepaid plan is a hassle-free plan that lets mobile phone users pay for only what they use. Subscribers enjoy per second billing for video calls and voice calls.
