Several users of umobile Philippines received a call from umobile (02 981-15-00) informing them that umobile will eventually be Red Mobile.

The umobile representative said that they will be transitioning from umobile to Red Mobile (using Smart’s facilities) from November 16-20, and umobile’s services will be affected or will be not be available during that time.

They will also be delivering a new SIM card via courier replacing the umobile SIM and that the initial free load of the said SIM is 200 pesos (compared to umobile’s 100). The free 100 peso load will also continue with Red Mobile said the representative. All this free of charge.

  6. _EdOnGsKi_ Says:

    this november 16-21 daw ang replacement ng mga old umobile sim. meron daw silang teaser commercial last nov 14 sa gma abt their new image. sayang hindi ko pa napanood. sulit na sulit dahil every month may 100 free load. sana lang may free calls pa rin tulad ng dati :)

  7. txtbuff Says:

    napanood ko TV ad kanina. sabi, “Red Mobile coming soon.”

  8. july Says:

  9. rem Says:

  10. KAPUSA Says:

    ano umobile phil. same lang ba sila ng globe saka smart?..

  11. anna Says:

    I wonder if this is the same “ad-funded” propaganda?
    will the sim be available in malls?
    or still the same “only internet” subscription for new users?
    Hindi pa nag uupdate ang homepage ng umobile e.

  12. yuri Says:

    i received a call from umobile today saying that the the “premium” sim will be delivered starting nov 16. it’s sad nga lang kasi the current umobile number will be replaced by the new sim. sayang lang, ang ganda na ng umobile number ko eh… ^_^

    sana may unlimited calls and texts ung red mobile. :)

  13. anne Says:

  14. shadow Says:

    umobile sim yung unlicol to all networks khit international pwede.

  15. txtbuff Says:

  16. lordmaya Says:

    natawagan din ako kanina, sounds like much better tong red mobile coz pwede ka na magtext and call to other networks, available na din ang sim to retail outlets pwede ka na din magpaload and pasaload. Mas convenient na ngayon. Sabi for red to red, 0.50 lang…im so excited to receive my sim!

  17. magnet Says:

    red mobile is powered by SMART.

    addict mobile repackaged directed to eliminate SUN CELLULAR

    prepare for the eclipse…

  18. bam Says:

    much better talaga itong red mobile kasi 0.50 lang ang sms at mms. at yung web browsing niya is 7.50 per 15 mins. if im not mistaken, 39pesos po yung retail sim niya. sa network naman is sa smart kaso, hindi sa gsm yung band niya kundi sa 3G. so hindi pwede yung red mobile sim sa mga cellphone na walang 3G. sa akin lang yung red mobile is pang laban nila sa sun cellular kasi yung sun, 2% nalang yung deperensya nila sa touch mobile. :)

  19. Sephiroth111 Says:

    Natawagan n ako nung 14 pa kaya inaAntay ko nalang dumating. Ung um0bile ko may siGnal pa. Ok dn ang um0bile tlga dahl .30cents per 1min ang internet browsing charge kaso nakakalungkot dahl ang ineExpect nating um0bile ay alaAla nalang dahl magiging red mobile na sya.

  20. curious Says:

    @Bam, san nabibili ang sim?

  21. Bam Says:

    sa ngayon wala pa available sa market. but according to a smart distributor in kidapawan city na nag attend sa red mobile convention, it will be out soon and will be sold in stores just like the other sim cards. ill keep it posted. :)

  22. joe Says:

    sa kuya ko tumawag na alst week, pero ako, di pa rin tinatawagan.

  23. Sephiroth111 Says:

    Sana marecve ko na ung reD m0bile ko, gumawa na ako ng auThorizati0n letTer tas HInaBilin ko sa kapatid ko dahl nasa skul ako pag 7 to 12nn.

  24. harry_potter Says:

    ang sabi sakin ung 200 call & text card is one time only. its just a freebie. hindi cya initial free load sa simcard. could u believe it ang voice & video call is only .50/min red-red! akalain mo? same with sms & mms - only .50 red-red! and full connection daw to the 3G network! san ka pa dba? =) go, go, RED na tayo!!!

  25. rhon Says:

    meron pla Nun? sa Manila lNg b available umobile? nsa prov kc aq..npnood q lng ung redmobile sa commercial… nkkintriga eh… pano b un??

  26. july Says:

    sna same pa rin ung number kc maganda at madaling matandaan yung number ng umobile..Actually nasa 6 thousand plang yung subscriber ng umobile kaya 6k din ang papalitan nila ng sim…

  27. Kapal ilad Says:

    Ano yan communist mobile? o kaya galing cguro russia….

  28. Aldrich Says:

    Sana 0999 pa din ang prefix…. and sana by invitation pa din siya…. kainis naman kung available siya everywhere….. wala ng yung feeling of exclusivity…. hehehe.

    saka nanghihinayang ako sa umobile number ko…. ang ganda pa naman…. 0999 3000-975

  29. Bam Says:

    @Aldrich, 0938 yung prefix nga red mobile. Sayang nga maganda pa naman sa U mobile.

  30. yuri Says:

    unfortunately the number will change. di macarry over un umobile number. it will have to change. besides, di na rin 0999 ang prefix. i think it’s 0938

  31. vhevhe Says:

    ohh dats cool… mlamang everyone wil use the red mobile..

  32. Bam Says:

    Yes its really cool but not everyone can use since not everyone of us has 3G/HSDPA-enabled cellphones. :)

  33. Aneng Says:

    wow…
    sounds great!!

    ako din. panu mag register o panu magkaroon nian…?? pls.. email me..

  34. yuri Says:

    is it true that the red mobile sim won’t work with non-3g enabled fones?

  35. chauser Says:

    nope, red mobile aka umobile works even in non-3g phones I have my 3650 and a umobile sim card. Its the best sim than sun cellular. tested and proven.

  36. pusa Says:

    cool!!! i must have one..how can i get one???sana exclusive lan xa hekek..

  37. Bam Says:

    Red Mobile will ONLY work on 3G/HSDPA Phones kasi yung signal or network niya dun kukunin. Kung walang 3G Network yung place, di pwede ang red mobile kahit malakas pa yung signal ng Smart. Yung Umobile kasi is sa GSM na network ng smart ang ginamit katulad ng TNT at Addict Mobile noon.

  38. pusa Says:

    waaaahhh..sana naman po may mag invite din sakin or magbigay nan INVITE CODES..

    I’M REALLY CRAVING FOR ONE..huhu..

    someone kindly email me please please please po=(

    meow_kalmot@yahoo.com

  39. Jocelyn Says:

    mgbbgay b uli cla ng sim dun s old users ng umobile?kc di n me mktawag kc wla na ngang cgnal…wahhhh!!!!

  40. secret Says:

    @Bam, dami mo alam sa Red Mobile, kwenuhan mo pa kame. Baka naman may red mobile ka na?

  41. acidburn Says:

    umobile is cure telecom… pero ang real talaga nangyari hinde na acquire ng umobile yung target nila na 10k subscriber by the end of the year. then hinde sila makakuha ng line sa globe and sun kaya hirap makatext / tawag sa 2telco na yun. THEN may technical issue sila na hinde nila maayos yung pag tawag sa ibang bansa so nangyari free international calls…one to sawa na usapan talaga!!!!! i should know nakinabang kami ng mga barkada ko ng matagal dyan…….then wala masyado company nag advertise sa kanila kaya nalugi. binili ito ng smart tapos ni rebrand na lang nila. kaya sila nag sara most of the employees din nawalan ng work coz of what happen

    so ngayon wala na tayo free calls/ free international calls kasi monitored na ito ng smart T__T

    hayy so sad talaga pero thank u na din sa umobile

  42. Albert Says:

    I’m not sure for this new SIM CARD that named RED MOBILE but I think it is nice too, because I buy one. I’m confused for one reason that they don’t even tell what type of Company it is? For example of SMART and GLOBE. Well, some customer will be curious to ask about this kind of SIM CARD….

    I would loved to know all the information about this because I think it can be help for my personal need and also for the others to text their relative in other countries.

    God Bless and Good Day….

  43. yuri Says:

    red mobile (as how the personal mobile assistants referred to), is a premium sim (much better version of umobile). as of this moment, no further announcements have been made if the ad-funded propaganda will continue. (in fact, i NEVER received any ads with my umobile sim).

    red mobile is powered by smart. and from what i’ve seen from other blogsites, the signal depends on 3g so it will be unusable for non-3g mobile phones (unconfirmed yet).

    anyway, medyo thumbs down ako sa kanila sa promised dates ng delivery nung sim. nung tinawagan ako 4 days ako, sabi sa akin, anytime from that day till the 20th matatanggap yung sim. however, it’s the 22nd and i still haven’t got mine.

  44. Albert Says:

    Ok!

    If this is powered by SMART, why I can’t load for E-LOAD for SMART for this SIM CARD?

  45. Albert Says:

    What year when uMobile ‘aka’ RED MOBILE intuduced here in the Philippines?

  46. yuri Says:

    red mobile will launch before the year ends (according to a personal mobile assistant).

  47. datu Says:

    wow..another break thru project to help competetion and get out of monopoly or conglomerative connivance..hope & Wish your success….get starts soon..we are excitingly waiting for it

  48. olive Says:

  51. Pedro Says:

  56. anna Says:

    ouch.. cannot work on 2g Phones

  57. gprs settings provider Says:

    does red mobile uses gprs? and whats the settings?

  58. yuri Says:

    Yes, red mobile uses gprs. in fact, browsing costs P 7.50/15 minutes. =D

    Tsaka pwede ba, dun sa nagsasabing SCAM and red mobile, i think you need some TV time. May commercial ang Red Mobile and they are now introducing the product to consumers. Unnecessary comments just make you look dumb.

  59. yuri Says:

    Eunice, walang unli ang Red Mobile but instead, they offer you lower call rates (red to red) for as low as P 0.50! meaning, you can still make a call to another red mobile number with only P 0.50 left on your balance.

    Sa mga bibili ng sim card sa retailers, it’s P 39.00 (SRP). It’s pre-loaded with P 10.00 (equivalent to 20-minute call or 20 text messages to another red mobile user).

    Calls to other networks costs P 6.50.

  60. yuri Says:

    To enjoy 3G services (ie: mobile internet) and MMS services, please activate your 3G / MMS settings by texting RED(space) to 9969.

  61. alken Says:

    nice info.. i think i’ll buy one later.

  62. july Says:

    visit: http://www.redmobile.com for more info..

  63. em Says:

    sayang sana i-unli na lang din nila yung text and call…

  64. yuri Says:

    I think, Red Mobile’s goal is to eliminate Sun Cellular - unlimited nga ang calls pero a lot of times (if not all the time) choppy yung signal, palaging network busy…

  65. mei-mei Says:

    nakita ko yung ad sa tv. kaso baka pang sun din yan ah. sa umpisa hirap maghanap signal. saan ba ang official site niyan ng maita ang mga rates. siguro ‘to na yung sagot sa .50 ni madam president. hahahaha! jokeness! pero ang mahalaga naman sa’ting mga pinoy eh ang load. maganda nga unti the cellphone mo, wala ka namang makain. balewala! buwahaha!

  66. erick mu Says:

    san ako pwede tumawag para magtanong about red mobile.

    ano ang costumer service number ng red mobile?

  67. chinx Says:

    wala pa rin ang red mobile ko..huhuhuh..i thought they will deliver it,.haaayy..sayang nman ang load…

  68. haya kala Says:

    mukang maraming pahihirapan yang edmobile na yan

  69. yuri Says:

    i have 3 friends who bought the red mobile prepaid sim (quiapo) and feebacks were all positive. clear signal, di choppy ang line, mabilis makatawag. ok ang video call.

    has anyone here who received a call from red mobile already received their sim card? ako kasi hindi pa. pero nasa courier na daw. araw araw ko na tinatawagan red mobile. hehe.

    @chinx, don’t worry about the load kasi ang alam ko di naman mawawala un. macarry over daw un balance mo tsaka free 100 load (if you’re still eligible for it) sa red mobile sim.

    for questions regarding red mobile, you can contact their customer service hotline. (02)924-9999.

  78. otoy Says:

    for rich people lang pala ang redmobile. mas marami gumagamit ng hindi 3G.

    reminder lang:
    kung bibili kayo ng brand new celfone lalo na 3G iwasan nyo bumili sa mega cellular network located sa shangrila mall edsa shaw blvd lower ground. marami na nagrereklamo dun sirain ung mga brand new unit nila.

  79. rem Says:

  83. yuri Says:

    i dont like this crap. there is no 3g signal here in my province. WTF. umobile is better even with its interconnection problem.

  84. yuri Says:

    okay… someone’s using the same name as i am. anyway, i’m not from any province. and red mobile’s coverage is nationwide.

    here’s what it says about their network..
    Our Network
    Powered by a countrywide 3G network, red mobile is available nationwide. 3G allows us to give you clearer calls, better signals, and even better value for money services.

  85. rem Says:

    pano ma update ung smartload menu para maloadan ko ung mga red mobile subscribers?

  86. july Says:

    Narcieve ko na kanina yung red mobile sim ko. May kasamang 200 initial load, kaya lang kailangan 3G capable ang cell phone para ma activate ang sim

  87. yuri Says:

    @rem, automatic na mag upgrade yang retailer sim mo..

  88. Jofritz Says:

    is it true that the minimum re loadable load of red sim is P100.00??

  89. tesla trooper Says:

    I got my sim today delivered at my home through post office. Yes kung dati 2GO sa umobile ngayon post office na lang. may kasamang 2 prepaid cards, each worth 100 pesos. Hindi na kinuha yung dati ko umobile sim and hindi na rin naghanap ng ID. Maidagdag na lang siguro sa mga sim card collection ko.
    Test it on my Nokia 1208 walang siganal. so ginamit ko ang N70 ko.
    Walang 3G signal sa loob ng bahay . kelangan pa ko lumabas sa Highway para makasagap ng signal.
    And I tried to register my N70 to GPRS pero walang reply ang system nila. Maybe hindi supported ng GPRS nila ang N70?
    Oh well, I still prefer the umobile promise before.

  90. jim bob fadera Says:

    meron akong umobile, i just want to know if kailan pedeng palitan un, kc nung sa umobile e nagregister lang ako thru internet, e ngaun sa red mobile e kailangan pa yatang itawag..di ba may mga kopya naman cguro cla ng umobile subscribers, cguro naman pwde nang padalhan na lang nila ng replacements ang mga yun di ba para naman di hassle sa part ng mga subscribers…

  91. skylark Says:

    I got my red mobile sim… ok naman yung network.. kaso di pa nag working yung Customer service hotline nila… it only works with a 3G phone on a 3G signal are (city lang muna ngaun)

  92. will_8283 Says:

    RED MOBILE is powered by SMART of course, still smart pa rin that can eat a load to the subsciber.

  99. tesla trooper Says:

    kahapon pa hindi ako makatext a. may problema ba sa network nila? pati costumer hindi macontact.

    CALAMBA HERE

  100. danny Says:

    i’ve been using red mobile for almost a week now. i don’t see or read anyone giving their review about the said network, so allow me to do it.

    me (alabang) and my gf (malinta) have been using this network and are quite satisfied with it. but like all other networks, it does have its pros and cons.

    PROS
    - once activated (3G setting), it really is P0.50 per text/call/video call
    - i almost never text my gf anymore, cause i can say far more by calling/video calling her for just P0.50 a minute
    - i noticed that its signal strength/weakness are of the same places where smart is also strong/weak
    CONS
    - it’s signal strength is about 90% reliable. meaning, about 10% of the time, i can’t contact my gf
    - its load centers are not as ubiquitous as the other networks

    So overall, weighing in the pros and cons, i’m quite satisfied with red mobile. buti na lang 3G enabled ang phone ko at ng gf ko. sorry na lang sa mga low tech phones dyan!

  101. tesla trooper Says:

    Nice review bro. but i dont like how you describe non-3G phone as “low tech phones”.

    Just a thought

  102. danny Says:

    i also noticed that activating the services offered by red (RED phone model (sent to 9969) ) activated my 3g settings and mms functions, but not my internet. it’s ok for me though, cause i use smart internet (using my SE W880i as a phone modem for my laptop, not smart bro plug in). besides, smart is cheaper when it comes to internet usage (P10.00 per 30 mins, instead of red’s P7.50 per 15 minutes).

    10 days have passed, with relatively heavy calling and video calling to my gf (about 10 minutes in the morning, 10 in the afternoon and 15 in the evening), i’m still yet to consume the P100 load i started using 10 days ago (still have P55.00 in my account). so in total, i have used P45.00 (including the P10 free load) since i tried red.
