RED Mobile huh?

POST TAKEN FROM: private multiply account 

So a competitor to SUN Cellular Network has finally risen huh?  About time! Haha! What better way to get rid of the excess users than have them transfer to other networks, I am speaking as a user of the said network.  Pretty soon the cell users' population will be well distributed.  :)

I think the RED Mobile will be crowded at first.  The SIM that only costs 39php, it's new, has a cool name, and it's under smart.  Smart having better signal, covering a wider range of area, we probably can expect about the same performance on signal for this new network.

The weird part though that I don't get is why they made it to only fit 3G phones?  Tsk tsk.  So those without 3G phones will not be able to avail of there services.  Anyhoo, as for me, I think I'd like to give this network a try. :)  

Plus, Elwin just text messaged me about it.  He said that we should try switching to RED Mobile. :D  That's why I got into browsing about it in the first place.  Prior to him mentioning it to ne, I didn't hear a word about it. haha! 

We cellphone users now have a lot of options to choose from:
Globe,  Touch Mobile, Smart, Talk & Text, Addict Mobile (is this a network? not sure.),  any other networks I fogot to mention?  And the new entrant to compete with the existing networks (most especially with the SUN Network) --- the new RED Mobile!  


Here's what I got off the internet while I was browsing:

The new Red Mobile website has been launched and we finally have the details of the service.
Based on initial impressions, the Red Mobile service looks like it’s aimed to compete with Sun Cellular.
Some key offerings below:

• Php0.50 per minute call rate between Red Mobile to Red Mobile SIM.
• SIM card is sold at Php39 each. Each SIM is pre-loaded with Php10 or an equivalent of 20 minutes of RM-RM calls.
• 3G browsing rates is P7.50 for every 15 mins or an equivalent Php30 per hour.
• Php10 minimum load denomination.

Red Mobile SIM must be used with a 3G capable handset. Likewise, service is limited to areas where there are 3G signals. This is because CURE has an NTC license for a 3G band so they cannot operate outside of their frequency.
This will cover all cities in the country as well as major regions. It might not work if you’re in a far-away island or in mountainous regions. You will have to consult Red Mobile support for availability of their service.
Disclosure: Red Mobile is an advertiser on this blog and several other blogs I author.
