Virgin Mobile launched in Singapore
|
Virgin
Mobile, which was launched yesterday, is the fourth
mobile phone operator in business here, after SingTel, M1
and StarHub.
|
Virgin
Mobile is a 50:50 joint venture between the Virgin Group and
SingTel.
|
Sir
Richard Branson, Virgin Group's chairman, was in town
yesterday to officiate at the launch of Virgin Mobile.
|
Currently, Virgin Mobile's phone services are subscription
free, unlike the other cellular operators which offer both
subscription and pre-paid plans. Virgin Mobile relies on a
pre-paid plan in which users pay S$35 for a pre-paid card
with S$35 of talktime. Charges for calls made are 20 cents
per minute, billed per second, on calls as well as a 20-cent
connection charge for each outgoing call. This makes its
pre-paid plan more expensive to use than the other cellular
phone operators here. However, with Sir Richard Branson at
the helm, Virgin Mobile is sure going to overcome the
competition though their pricing is against them.
|
Their
incoming and outgoing SMS cost 10 cents per SMS. Additional
features, such as voicemail, call waiting, call forwarding,
caller ID display, call hold, and calls to their top-up line
come FREE! Currently they have three Virgin Stores
located at The Mall, Peranakan Place; The Heeren and Suntec
City Mall.
