You’ll remember last week our very own Ricky gave us a brief introduction to ümobile, the Phillipines version of the adfunded Blyk. Time to take a bit more of an indepth look.
The first adfunded mobile service provider in Asia, ümobile is targeted towards 15 to 35 year olds in the Phillipines. Partnering with corporations and brands who want to build relationships using mobile to deliver their messages, Umobile is qualified with advanced market segmentation tools that allows Umobile brands to choose a specific age range, lifestyle, socio-economic class.
Much like Blyk, ümobile provides calls, texts, MMS, surfing capabilities and downloads along with rewards for customers by connecting them to the brands that they care about most.
Benefits for the first ümobile customers between June 1st and August 31st 2008 include:
FREE ümobile SIM
P100 free load for the very month for the next 6 months
Earn rewards for every ad message received
Enhanced communication with Fring (mobile VoIP)
Nationwide coverage
Earn rewards with every ad you see
Mobile broadband surfing
PC calling with Virtual Phone * (coming soon)
ümobile paired up with fring, a VoIP (www.fring.com ) which permits ümobile customers to make VOIP calls, chat and interact with friends all over the world from his mobile to another PC and vice-versa. Using Umobile you only pay for data minutes.
ümobile also launched a self-care website that will allow ümobile customers to get to know them better. It allows you to change your mobile number anytime (first one is free)and as a part of a ümobile customer’s privilege, you can recommend friends to become part of their community. Your recommended names will take 1st priority as far as approvals are concerned.
They will soon be offering a product that allows customers to make calls and send/receive texts via PC to another ümobile account and vice-versa with ümobile’s virtual phone service.
