Telco Offers Local Call Charges for Prepaid Subscribers Travelling to the Lion City

Kuala Lumpur, 18 September, 2012 – If you are travelling to Singapore to catch one of the world’s most exciting Formula One races or be part of the star-studded festival this weekend, grab a U Mobile prepaid SIM pack at any U Mobile store, 7-Eleven or U Mobile distributor to enjoy local call charges while making calls from the Lion City.

U Mobile lets you make calls at Singapore local rates and enjoy roaming absolutely FREE via its strategic network agreement with StarHub. You can now bury qualms over shocking international call charges that eat up your credit because the U Mobile prepaid plan lets you roam free and offers up to 59 percent savings in call rates.

In comparison to other telcos which charge up to RM1.35 per minute for calls back to Malaysia, U Mobile charges only RM0.55 per minute. The savings also apply to local calls and SMS to Singapore numbers, and SMS back to Malaysia. Best of all, the service is pre-activated, which means there is no need for additional registration for free roaming.  

“As a customer-focused telco, we constantly strive to provide value-added offerings for our customers.  Local charges for calls and SMS between Singapore and Malaysia will benefit those travelling to Singapore for the F1 and those who regularly travel across the causeway, as it will significantly reduce their mobile expenses,” said Jaffa Sany Ariffin, CEO of U Mobile.

Whilst data roaming is not free, you can still enjoy up to 50 to 80 percent in savings on data roaming costs with U Mobile’s prepaid plan for smartphones. With just RM0.50 per MB data, the lowest rate amongst the telcos, you can share photos and keep your friends and family updated via email, Facebook, Google, Instagram or Twitter while you are enjoying the race and partying in Singapore.

First introduced in August 2011, this great offering by U Mobile is benefiting frequent travellers between Malaysia and Singapore. Be it for work or leisure, an average of 60,000 vehicles from Johor Bahru cross the Causeway to Singapore on any typical day.
