Effective from August 3rd, all U Mobile prepaid subscribers travelling to Singapore will roam on Starhub network but only to be charged at local rates and enjoy roaming absolutely for FREE.
Dr. Kaizad Heerjee, Chief Executive Officer, U Mobile Sdn Bhd said, “Earlier this year, the Malaysian Minister of Information, Communications and Culture, YBhg Dato’ Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim urged the industry to reduce cross-causeway roaming rates. Today we proudly announce that we are not just reducing the rates, but totally eliminating the cross-causeway roaming charges for U Mobile users. It is the epitome of convenience at no extra cost. As the industry innovation pioneer, we will continue to deliver beyond expectations.”
The new offering by U Mobile will benefit millions of travellers between Malaysia and Singapore. Recent numbers show there are approximately 150,000 Malaysians commuting from Johor Bahru crossing Causeway to Singapore, with an average of 60,000 vehicles crossing the causeway on any typical day. In 2010, more than 7 million tourists from Malaysia spent their weekends and holidays in Singapore.
