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.

buti na lang 3g ang phone ko. kayong mga non-3g phone owners, bakit galit kayo? kung lilipat kaming mga 3g dito sa red, eh di mababawasan ang congestion nyo! saka itapon nyo na ang mga 3210 nyo!!

panget ang red mobile…indi sure ang signal plus may bayad ang lod!!hehehehe
pangit red mobile, tulad ng smart.parehas cheap,ang baduy.globe pa din ako.connected 24ever
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).
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!
takte!
RM to RM lang ba ung .50 rate ng call??.. o applicable din sa ibang network?..
sa mga gus2tong mg RM eh mg RH n lang kayo!! malakas ang tama.. ito ang tama.. RED HORSE extra strong !!
is Smart tryin’ beat suncell thats why they acquire Umobile?
hmm.. am i the only one experiencing drop calls in RM? hmm.. fishy fishy..
magbasa nga muna dyan yung di nakakaintindi, wala kinalaman ang smart kung bakit 3G ang RM, kasi nung magumpisa d2 sa pinas yan ay pagaari pa ng CURE at 3G lang kinuhang license sa NTC…
ask ko lng po,. if my plan bng mgtayo ng new cell site ang red mobile sa place nmin,. i’m from coloong 1, valenzuela city,.and ask q lng din san my nearest wireless center here pra mkapaginquire n dn po kung pano maging retailer or reload center,. tnx,. more power!
my mga friends n dn kc aq n subscriber ng RM,. kea ask q lng,. hehe,. tnx,.
mas maganda yung umobile…umli calls ako dun eh..walang kaltas sa load haha..kahit sa ibang bansa…sayang wala na….
dapat nilabas nila ang red mobile sa year 2500, para sure lahat siguro naka 3g phone na…mga ungas amp….
Ang 3G ng smart at globe intended for surfing. Ang 3G ng RM is intended for text and calling. Surfing and Calling have lots of differences and purpose kya seems there is no reason to compare RM with other network. Yeehah! Smart akoh…
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!
hello danny,
i would like to ask if the 3G browsing rates of Red Mobile is 30/hr?
hi where is your office located?
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!
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.
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.
sino ba may ari ng red mobile??
