Umobile to relaunch as Red Mobile

When I saw an advertisement on TV this morning that said something like, “Red Mobile, coming soon”, I didn’t know that it was Umobile until this afternoon. I got a call from Umobile (9811500) and they told me that they have changed their name to Red Mobile. They will send me a new Red Mobile SIM for FREE anytime from Nov 16 to 20. Like before, they still require me to present a photocopy of my valid ID upon delivery of the SIM.

This means I won’t be needing my Umobile SIM anymore. So I will just keep it as a remembrance. Goodbye Umobile.

Hello Red Mobile!
