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.

    This is the old uMobile bought by Smart from Eastern Communications right? Hows the 3G signal in Pasig area?

  2. Gravatar Icon Paul replied on Nov 22nd, 2008 at 11:30 am (2)

    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.

  13. Gravatar Icon yuga replied on Nov 23rd, 2008 at 10:56 am (13)

    @Jan Alvin - it’s not an AdSense link and I don’t earn a cent from it so it’s okay.

    @edzhstar - it’s because the CURE license is only for 3G.

  14. Gravatar Icon Chester replied on Nov 23rd, 2008 at 11:02 am (14)

  17. Gravatar Icon jeff replied on Nov 23rd, 2008 at 12:17 pm (17)

    Ok sana ung RED MOBILE kaso may problem
    1. no 3G Phone - Red Mobile cannot use..
    2. no 3g Signal - Red Mobile cannot use..
    Di sya gagana sa GSM NETWORK ng SMART, kundi sa 3G NETWORK lng SMART…

    SOUND SCAM… DI BA..

    LAHAT BA NA CELLSITE ng SMART ay 3G na ba, eh di tatalunin lang sila ng SUN CELLULAR…

    The truth is, they acquire CURE NETWORK just to get the 3G License ng RED MOBILE… At magamit ni Smart ung 3G License… For his Own Motive…

    TAMA PO BA ME… wala sila balak na palakasin ung RED MOBILE…

    mukhang hindi ito papatok kase UMTS/3G handsets lang ang pwede.

  22. Gravatar Icon ariel replied on Nov 23rd, 2008 at 7:44 pm (22)

    i’m definitely in doubt..it will not give you the best services… i will stick with globe…

  23. Gravatar Icon Levi replied on Nov 23rd, 2008 at 10:16 pm (23)

    You guys are right, RM will not click on the market since its pre-requisite is a 3G capable phone. I believe only few guys are using 3G phones.
    Another disadvantage of RM is that it has limited signal since not all Smart cellsite are 3G capable. In the case of Bacolod City the SIM only works within the city proper. I would presume same in other areas.
    However, I hope Smart will improve its 3G network so we can appreciate the service of RM.

  24. Gravatar Icon Reggie replied on Nov 23rd, 2008 at 10:16 pm (24)

    how can i reload my red mobile phone?
    is it through smart’s e-load?

  33. Gravatar Icon Jonathan replied on Nov 24th, 2008 at 9:33 pm (33)

    Why only 3G capable handsets?

    Easy question.

    If all phones are allowed to use and connect to the Red Mobile network - that means a large volume of current Smart/Globe/SUN subscribers would switch into it. Leaving out the big telco’s isolated from the maps.

    There is a tendency or it may happen that everyone will have a Red Mobile sim - for primary or for backup use. If that happens for sure the whole Smart network gateways will clog similarly to what is happening with SUN in the past and present (No pun intended!).

    Who doesn’t want to have a cheap text and call charges? Anyone? 0.50php text, calls per minute is a strip steal.

    It is also clear that Smart doesn’t want to compete to itself? Do they?

    =)

  34. Gravatar Icon kamote replied on Nov 25th, 2008 at 12:47 am (34)

    wow.i read the link, my seimens phone is not 3g.although the teaser IS a tease..since it only costs 50 cents a minute. the load is unbelievable..i wud prefer smart than this, well its becoz of this:
    Load Value

    Validity
    P10 1 day
    P20 2 days
    P30 3 days
    P50 5 days
    P100 10 days
    P200 30 days
    P300 60 days
    P500 60 days

    i mean with all the texting and calling..i dont think this load will not last THAT long.
    i want to use this sim and try it out but no 3g phone!sucks to be 2g!eniway the 3 networks got it good. there may be some pros and cons but this red mobile sure has a lot of holes to fill in in order to be up there with the 3 major networks!

    isa pa mahal parin ang call to other networks it cost 6.50 samatalang sa smart or globe 6.00 flat lang. at isa pa ang web browsing nila mahal din sa kabila 20 pesos per housr kasi 10 pesos lang ang 30mins browsing,. so anu kaya ang sabi nilang kakaiba nun? ugok talaga sila ,……

  38. Gravatar Icon Marlon replied on Nov 25th, 2008 at 1:56 pm (38)

    yeh… ryt. Maganda sana cia kung di na kelangan ng 3G. Papano ang mga mararalitang Pilipino na katulad namin, we cant afford to buy mobile phone na capable sa 3G. Anyway, good luck nalang po sa inyo. Sana ma improve nyo pa yahn na maging ang mararalitang Pilipino ay makaka gamit. And don,t forget the services. I suggest na ang services ay maganda. More Similar sa Globe :-) and kasing mura ng sa Sun Cel. Para patok talaga sa MASA:-)

    what about 3G signals in Iloilo and Cagayan de Oro???

  46. Gravatar Icon SimplengMamamayan replied on Nov 25th, 2008 at 11:15 pm (46)

    this is what they call “innovation”

    wag kayo magalit kung wala kayong pambili ng 3g handsets, di nila kasalanan yun no.

    Kung texter kayo, di tlga yan papatok sa inyo, kung caller naman kayo at mtyaga kayo makinig sa “network is busy now” ng sun, edi mag sun kayo.

    Ang kaso di lahat ng lugar maganda ang signal ng sun, siguro para sa inyo okay, kasi di nyo ramdam yung hirap. 3G is much much wider, kung may lugar man na walang signal, mga sobrang liblib nalang yun.

    Wag nyo sila sisihin kung yung may 3g lang ang pwede, “SeRvIcE” po yan, kung applicable ka, edi take advantage, kung hindi wag mo ipasa sa provider ang hinanakit mo wahahaha..

    by the way, 3g is parang yung mga landline na wireless, ganong quality ang makukuha nyo.

    ako mismo walang 3g handset, pero makakabili din ako, dami daming murang fone ang may 3g, the key is mag ipon hindi mag reklamo dahil di makabili whahahaha..

    Smart - scammer, nangangain ***
    Sun - network is busy **
    Globe - astig, kaso promos are limited *****
    RedMobile - hmmm pang 3g lang.. tignan natin. ???

  47. Gravatar Icon ronier replied on Nov 26th, 2008 at 2:50 pm (47)

    i used to be one of those who build the CURE network previously known as umobile. since many is asking why 3G only?
    my answer is we made it possible for the sim cards before to be backward compatible with 2g network in 2g phone but well of course it can not avail or support 3G services but will still work on basic services like sms and calls, maybe or just maybe smart has marketing strategy to push on subs to use 3g.

  48. Gravatar Icon Aimed at rich people? replied on Nov 26th, 2008 at 6:52 pm (48)

    Reading the previous comments really had be laughing. There’s this stupid guy who swore at Red Mobile just because he can’t afford a 3G phone. So what if this network is aimed for the rich who want to spend less on calls so they can buy more jewelry, watches, clothes, etc? Taking out your bitterness over being poor on this new network? Haha! I find it great that a new cheapo network is available, while screening out jologs people that continuously clog the networks… like a lot of lovers do at night with Sun. If this mobile network would be able to all types of phones, then it would be another Sun altogether. Let’s sing with me now: “the network is busy now” la la la

    Red Mobile . . .
    Hmmn.. excited pa naman ako bumili ni2, pro
    bat parang ang dami na kagad negative responses..
    Sa mga nabasa ko, my idadagdag ako ;p…
    My mga friends kac ako na gustong bumili ng RM para daw makamura sila, eh kaso hindi naman pla sila focus dun sa text or call kundi dun sa 3G. Mukhang nagbackout na kagaad cla sa pagbili ng sim kac mas mahal daw ang charge ng RM sa 3G. Expected kac nla n mas mura din ang charge s 3G..
    Sa tingin ko d2, ung original Peso charge na dapat sa text and calls ay hinati nyo lang at inilipat or idinagdag nyo sa charge ng 3G . . .
    Sa tingin ko lang ah, pro kung ganun nga so parang same parin ang pahirap ng mahal na charge sa cellphone load….
    My plan ba kau magrollback sa charge ng 3G??? hehe, ask ko lang kac kung same charge sa 3G or mas mura kaysa ibang network eh panalo na!!!

  59. Gravatar Icon charzieeraz replied on Dec 1st, 2008 at 2:19 pm (59)

    para sa akin naman hindi lahat ng gusto natin ay makukuha natin. napakahirap kaya gawin lahat ng gusto nyo. Look, the reason kung bakit nagloloko ang connection ng sun dahil sa focus nila. mas pinaguukulan nila ng pansin ang call and text kaysa sa connection, actually wala ngang time rate ang sun eh, kasi di nila pinapansin ang ganuon . ang smart naman pinaguukulan ng pansin ang kanilang unlimited services such as text but you can see na lagi silang nakakakain ng load yun naman ay dahil di din nila pinapansin yun probably iyon din ang pag asa nila lalo’t may mga hacker na nakakapagbrowse kahit na 2 php lang. so dun man lang ay makabawi na sila, maging ang globe marami ding deffiency, kaya wag nalang natin sisihin ang network dahil baka kaya lang nila ginawang ganyan para ma maintain nila ang services na talagang focus nila

    ang daming comments dito, pero wala pang nagbibigay ng totoong feedback sa service (except si skylark). lalo na yung iba, negative na kaagad. sana people who’ve used it can give comments, para naman makatulong sa ibang nag-iisip gumamit ng red mobile.

    “This is because CURE has an NTC license for a 3G band so they cannot operate outside of their frequency.” — For those peeps who keep asking why full utilization of the RM service will be realized only with 3G handsets, here’s your answer.

    I’m thinking of switching to RM. Reason’s stated in my blog, but I’m still researching about it– to see if it’s worth the shift from Globe to Red.

    Reading the previous comments really had be laughing. There’s this stupid guy who swore at Red Mobile just because he can’t afford a 3G phone. So what if this network is aimed for the rich who want to spend less on calls so they can buy more jewelry, watches, clothes, etc? Taking out your bitterness over being poor on this new network? Haha! I find it great that a new cheapo network is available, while screening out jologs people that continuously clog the networks… like a lot of lovers do at night with Sun. If this mobile network would be able to all types of phones, then it would be another Sun altogether. Let’s sing with me now: “the network is busy now” la la la — Very well said, Aimed At Rich People??. :) I agree. LOL

    born loser

    i thought it’s a new breed of telco offering competitive and lower charges but i find it a scam (because of 3g)trying to beat suncellar. Sun still has the student market and for those who prefers having a secondary line like most of us thats why I dont see the point getting a new sim like RED. People will definitely look for a new, cheap way of communication and not an additional burden. We already have tnt, tm and sun, wireless landlines and the likes.
    What we need now is a new player who will offer premium services like globe that will offer much lower rates.(nevermind smart).

  81. Gravatar Icon Gai replied on Dec 10th, 2008 at 8:47 pm (81)

    Know what? I ain’t satisfied with your service!
    I’ve been using your SIM for two weeks already and it gave me nothing but FRUSTRATIONS! And guess what? Whenever I’m in an enclosed area, say in my room, I would lose the signal and it’s really frustrating! I would wait for minutes or even hours to have the signal back! Or I would try and turn off my phone. I can’t say that my room’s that enclosed because I had the windows widely opened! Do somethin’ ’bout it will ya? ‘Cause it really s**ks and it’s getting into my nerves! You have a nice marketing strategy but you’re still fitting yourself in the market so perform well. No busy lines?? Uhuh?.. I think it’s the other way around. Every time I would make a call, seems like I’m waiting in a queue BUT instead of hearing the ring-ring sound.. It’s BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!!! So ironic!

  93. Gravatar Icon danny replied on Dec 20th, 2008 at 4:29 pm (93)

    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!

    is this available for sony ericsson w850i? tinext ko kasi ung sa 3g settings pero la dumarating sa akin.., im using a 3g phone ah! dont tell me that my sony ericson w850i is not a 3g phone.., damn!

  97. Gravatar Icon danny replied on Dec 24th, 2008 at 3:51 pm (97)

    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.

  98. Gravatar Icon danny replied on Dec 24th, 2008 at 3:56 pm (98)

    to hernan,

    i’m sure pwede and phone mo na SE W850i. ganun din nangyari sa kin nung day 1. pero malamang mali ang nai-type mo sa pag-activate ng 3g settings. with a SE W880i phone, ityped the ff:

    RED SEW880i

    then sent to 9969. i recieved a text message afterwards telling me to dl their 3G settings. to my surprise, internet setting failed to dl. pls leave a reply if successful ang attempt mo and if nag dl din ang internet setting.

    Well…. I recently changed my smart sim to RM but…. ang problema, walang mapag loloadan… How can that be, the fact that the advertisements said that over 1 million load outlets nationwide. E wala namang nagbebenta dito sa baguio e. Ni isa, walang nagbebenta ng card…..

  103. Gravatar Icon susi replied on Jan 8th, 2009 at 3:20 pm (103)

    so, a lesson learned, unknown, before you buy something, think about it first. Tingnan mo, dpat nagcheck ka muna sa mga reloading stations around you if they offer red mobile load. Of course they will advertise na there’s over a million load outlets para may bumili ng sim. See? Hindi tayo dapat maniwala sa mga advertisements especially grown-ups like us. For me, Globe still rocks, kahit limited ang promo, I don’t care, I’m not addicted to texting naman e. And it’s ok for me to pay for my calls, ok na yung per-second rate. Sa mga sun subscribers, if you want your calls to be clear, or gusto nyo laging available ang network, don’t abuse the unlimited call feature. Huh, ang haba! hindi naman ako galit nyan!

BASTA, SA AKIN, I HAVE PROVEN THAT RED IS GOOD AND BETTER THAN ANY OTHER NETWORK RIGHT NOW. EWAN KO LANG, BAKA NEXT TIME GLOBE AND SUN WILL GIVE CHEAPER VIDEO CALL DIN IN THE FUTURE.

    Nga pala, para dun sa tulad ng taga tarlac na nawawala kamo ang signal. Mag globe ka na lang. Anyway, this is free country, kung ano gusto mo dun ka. Pwede ka pa rin naman mag 3G Video Call to anyone, mahal nga lang ang per minute. Just be cool lang mga friends. Get redmobile when it only suite your needs, beside P39 pesos lang naman yung sim if you want to try it.

    do you guys know what the IDD rate for Red Mobile is?

    because when umobile was still active, i used to call anywhere around the globe for more than 5 hours by just consuming up the 100php load they gave away each month so long as i didn’t disconnect the call.

    the first times i tried this though, my credits were deducted by a mere 30++php with 1++ hours of international talk time without being disconnected …

    then i would use up the rest of the credits to call someone else overseas for as long as the line did not get cut.

    that was the most use i had out of my free umobile sim. too bad they’re out of business. lol it might have been because of that .. haha what do you think?

    and the fact remains that they never even activated the view ads and get free credits strategy. what a shame.

    it’s very obvious that smart is using red mobile to target sun cell’s market. Red mobile is riding on the 8000++ smart cell sites as they claimed in their advertisement. I wander, if they can offer cheaper rates like Php 0.50/min for red mobile, why smart is still Php 6.5/min and talk and text at Php5.50/min while they are using the same cell sites.
