U Mobile is stepping up their game by cutting prices as low as they can. Just a few days ago, they announced the cheapest rate for the Blackberry package and now they´re doing the same with the sale of the Samsung Galaxy S III device. Is this smoke and mirrors, a fire-sale, or a competitive move to upset the big boys? Well, we consumers can surely benefit from a price war, if it starts.
A release from U Mobile is claiming that at RM588, their Samsung GALAXY S III is cheapest in town.
A quick look at the Maxis website lists the recommended retail price of RM2199, while Digi´s website is offering the same device for RM1299.
They all come with data plans, so it´s not as clear cut whichever offer from which telco is the cheapest.
Also on sale is the new Samsung GALAXY Tab 2 7.0, Samsung´s first tablet running on Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS. They´re selling it from RM599, paired with U Mobile´s postpaid plan.
Consumers must remember that purchases are often paired with long contracts and if you want the best bang out of your buck, you must bring a calculator and figure out how much you are paying every month for whatever device with a postpaid, prepaid and/or data plan.
However, U Mobile´s offering does seem attractive. Consumers can buy the Samsung GALAXY S III from as low as RM588 when they choose U Mobile´s U Premium plan. At RM168 per month, they get the 5GB data allowance, 800 minutes of free calls and 800 free SMS. The U Premium plan is "the ideal plan for hardcore mobile users who are constantly on-the-go" said the release.
The excitement about the arrival of the Samsung GALAXY S III has been brewing at U Mobile since last month.
The telco initiated a registration-of-interest amongst its customers from 14 June to 26 June, and received more than 1,000 registrations for Samsung´s latest quad-core wonder.
Speaking about the new device offering, Aletheia Yashoda P., U Mobile´s Head of Product & Marketing said, "With this incredibly affordable offer, we are giving customers a chance to own the Samsung GALAXY S III without breaking their budget. Paired with our unique and affordable postpaid plan, customers get the best of both worlds. They can own their dream device and at the same time, enjoy the fastest 3G mobile internet in the country and benefit from the multitude of value-added offerings from U Mobile."
U Mobile is also pairing the S III with its other postpaid plans which are a unique hybrid of data, voice and SMS services within affordable packages.
Both the GALAXY SIII and the GALAXY Tab 2 7.0 will be available at all U Mobile outlets nationwide from 1 July 2012.
