KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 24 (Bernama) -- New mobile operator XOX Com Sdn
Bhd (XOX Com) is confident of reaching one million subscribers by the end
of next year from the 100,000 currently, said its president, Ng Kok Heng.
"With our innovative packaging and marketing, XOX Com is confident of
reaching this goal by the end of next year," he told reporters after
launching the company's latest prepaid package called, XinXun mobile
prepaid, here on Tuesday.
He also said that the introduction of postpaid and mobile internet services
in two months time will further support XOX Com's efforts to achieve the
subscriber target.
According to Ng, the services will be offered at a competitive rate.
XOX Com is the country's first mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) with
the 010 prefix, leveraging on Celcom's extensive network to offer a
spectrum of services ranging from the GSM, GPRS, 3G to 3.5G.
Ng said XOX Com is also planning to increase its dealer network to 10,000
nationwide by the middle of next year from the 7,500 currently to support
the growing subscriber base.
On the new XinXun mobile prepaid service, he explained that it was
innovated to be the first of its kind in Malaysia, with the 'Short Call Service'
feature.
A XinXun mobile prepaid call is priced at eight sen for the first 15 seconds.
"We have priced it affordably as lots of people use less than 15 seconds to
say a quick greeting to loved ones, or check on status updates," Ng said.
XinXun mobile prepaid which means 'new telco' in Chinese, has three call
rates, namely classic, silver and gold.It offers a cheaper rate when the
customer reloads for a higher sum.
"For example, if you reload RM20, the rates are 32 sen per minute.
However, if you reload for RM50, the call rates are 15 sen per minute. The
rate is similar to that for postpaid," Ng explained.
In addition, XOX Com is also offering the XinXun mobile prepaid
subscribers 150 free SMS every month and special low rates to call and
SMS to any 15 postpaid and prepaid family as well as friends.
"Having invested close to RM10 million to market, produce and brand the
XinXun mobile prepaid, XOX Com is confident of receiving good response
for it," Ng said.
