Red Mobile website officially launched

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.

am I the first to leave a comment here? anyway, why would they require 3G-capable handsets only? Hhhmmm.. Call me paranoid. But I guess mobile networks are starting to monitor and “listen” to our conversations as part of security measures not only by our local government but other international agencies as well. Hahaha.. I watch too much movies recently!

Their 3g rate is a bit expensive.

Globe’s rate is php5 for every 15 mins while Smart’s (RED’s parent company) rate is php10 for every 30 mins.
